I

[Gemini Cricket]

I
by GC

I can be leaned on
often I won't
bend.

I can be counted on
I'm as loyal as a
friend.

I can make you laugh
sometimes I am a
clown.

I can pick you up
but my eyes can throw you
down.

I can make you think
I've lived my share of
life.

I can make you cry
my tongue can be a
knife.

I can make you mad
if there's a flame to
stoke.

I can take your love
and fix it when it's
broke.

I can give it to you in return
upon special
request.

But I can make you weary
like an ever present
guest.

And on that right occasion
I'm one to make you
moan.

But I'm not your self-esteem
you got to build that
on
your
own.
