Companions in Hand

You have been at my side
In my purse
Balanced on my palm
Rested on stairwells
Teetering and tottering on my lap

Shall we journey again together today?
Will I let your yellowed leaves
Add to the loads I already carry?
Or will you stay safely ensconced
Slumbering at my bedside?

You are worth the heavy consideration
The stares earned when I
Pace up and down with you
In those dusty halls
That hear so few of your kind

I ought to keep you secure
By my heart, stowed by my hip
I would too, but for your song
