my refrigerator magnets


I define myself
by my refrigerator magnets
tiny bits of wisdom
on shiny frames of steel
I believe that
all these little fragments
will add up into something
that can teach me how to feel

all I need to know
is on refrigerator magnets
funny little sayings
that stick to the door
I'd like to say
I'm not staying stagnant
but I'm not any smarter
than I was before

          teach me what you can
          tell me I'm not dumb
          help me to be the man
          I know I can become

I strive to be like
my refrigerator magnets
they represent everything
I wish that I could be
I know they'll lead me
my refrigerator magnets
when I have their lessons
memorized inside of me
