Love Poem: Peg

Peg

I love it
When you touch me
And squeeze me really tight

You make me
Feel important
With all the warmth and light

I value 
Every moment
Even if they’re brief 

Getting noticed
And being chosen
Is such a huge relief

Don’t let
The skies rule you
And tell you what to do

Sitting idle 
In a heap
Can be really bad for you

Don’t keep
Me in the dark
I prefer not to take a break

I’m happiest 
Being out there
When integrity’s at stake

Even though 
I’m weathered 
Strength is my best feature 

I’ve endured 
Hard times before
And survived a vicious creature

But still 
I’m always faithful 
When I know that you are mine

I hold on tight
With all my might
To your best clothes on the line
