Ode to my notebook

My square notebook
Pillow of my drafts
Repository of my dreams
Holder of my secrets
I have to thank thee
For your taking note
Of any ripple on my mind
Any flutterings of my heart
Of the most trifling transient thought
I may happen to articulate
Yes thank you, think not I ignore you
Despite the fact that you never 
See the end product recorded
For eternity on the iPad or PC
Whatever I may write, I trust 
It stays between you and me
Your smooth pages hold in place
By that large spiral along your spine
You, my faithful supportive companion
I couldn't do without you.
