A Line In Your Book

I'll be a line in your book

Mentioned with your hometown

A bridge, not to burn down

But to lift you on your own

You'll be a modern timeless classic

I'll try deciphering your pages

But I will share you with the ages

May your story be yours alone

I will be honest I don't know if

I had a story to tell before you

A travelogue to pore through

Dusty, tedious, and forlorn

You'll be the title of my book

Featured in every chapter

Here now, forever after

Dog-eared pages, but never torn

You'll be the ones that I'll keep trying

To capture with poetic pretense

Perfect prose and consonance

That could carve into stone
