Analysis of A Sappy Steve



I am a sentimental Steve,
A tear or two will flow
Whenever I see someone grieve
Or Christians on the go.

The way I felt when students learned
And then began to thrive
At school where they were never spurned,
Their confidence revived.

And yes, sad movies took their toll;
Emotion in their plot.
I felt their sadness in my soul.
As well as love they got.
