After Thoughts
The Poetry of J. Hodges

Someone

Someone to listen
Someone to share with
Someone to walk with
Someone to pair with

Someone to cherish
Someone to adore
Someone to blow kisses
Someone to cook for

Someone to write letters
Someone to bring flowers
Someone to make tea
Someone to spend hours

Someone to go riding
Someone to wrap gifts for
Someone to enjoy the music
in our hearts, Lord

Someone to watch movies
Someone to pop popcorn
Someone to make dinner
Someone to look good for

Someone to sit by the fire
Someone to hold hands
Someone to desire
Someone to make higher

Someone to have faith in
Someone to wait-up for
Someone to spend time with
or simply to shop for

Someone to encourage
Someone to pillow fight
Someone to love as never before
with all our heart and all our might

Someone to photograph
Someone to admire
Some to watch a sunset;
a sunrise, doesn’t matter

Someone to trust
Someone to respect
Someone to honor
Someone to flatter

Someone to let go of
Someone to return
Someone to be more of
Someone that I yearn

Someone to burn for
Someone to be kind to
Someone to whisper
Someone whom to see through

Someone to touch
Someone to favor
Someone to taste
Someone to savor

Someone to understand
Someone to forgive
Someone to find peace;
that someone from within.
