The Monday Poem is brought to you by Professor Jim Gormley of the English Department.
BECAUSE
by Nikki Giovanni
I wrote a poem
for you because
you are
my little boy
I wrote a poem
for you because
you are
my darling daughter
and in this poem
I sang a song
that says
as time goes on
I am you
and you are me
and that’s how life
goes on
