A little poem that has made a big impact

"Wear Me" is truly the little poem that could. I was doing a web search a couple years ago and was amazed how many times this poem had been shared. In fact, it was through that search that I learned that this poem had been published in a poetry collection, The 100 Best Love Poems of All Time by Leslie Pockell.

I know it would have thrilled my dad to see one of his poems included in a collection with Edgar Allen Poe, Walt Whitman, Lord Byron, Slyvia Plath, and so many other renowned poets.

Wear Me

I want you to wear me

comfortably,

as you would a dress,

or the silver necklace that you wear

around your neck.

Comfortably, so that I am always

next to you:

but most important--

something you decide

each morning to select.
