All of the Above I’m sexy when I need to be Studious when it’s time to read Sassy when I feel that way Sleepy when I start my day I’m quiet when I have nothing to say I’m inquisitive when I have a question I’m open to critiques or a sensible suggestion Happy when I’m with my man For my friends, I’ll do all that I can Loyal until it causes harm For my friends, I’ll give my right arm I’m sweet as pie until provoked About the hub, I’m easily stoked About that girl, I’m very impassioned Harming them would cause FIRE to be rationed I’ll fight I’ll gnaw I’ll scratch and tear After that, I’ll repent in prayer Please forgive me I’m just a self- described friend extraordinaire, protective wife and mother bear All of the above

:) And all of the above are the things that really matter in this world. I was impressed with how you took the everyday, the core things of life, and made them really work in this poem without sounding everydayish- seemingly easy, but not so.
