  My Poems  

You're a Keeper

A poem by Beverly Stock.

2020 was such a mess,

Honestly, I must confess

My brain is drained, I’m in distress,

I think I need a keeper.


An advertisement is what I need

To invite a few, yet supersede

Those applicants with high degrees.

PhDs can’t be a keeper.


A moderator of life’s stress

That’s what my keeper will do best.

Cooking skills they might invest,

Feel like a guest with a keeper.


Most importantly; a keeper cares,

Keeps no secrets, always shares,

With hope to spare, is always there

Who suggests what to wear? A keeper.


A keeper, it occurs to me,

You’re someone who I always see,

One like you, who likes to be,

A friend to me. It’s you, I see!


You’re a keeper!




Keeper ( a colloquialism) in a relationship means someone worth keeping. When he/she said that you're a keeper, he/she knows that you're the one.
