I've been looking for the perfect song and poem. I was listening to Nichole Nordeman's and Amy Grant's song, and I would classify their song "I'm With You" as a poem. Here are the lyrics:

1) Love is a hurricane in a blue sky.

    I didn't see it coming never knew why.

   All the laughter and the dreams

   All the memories in between

   Washed away in a steady stream.

2) Love is a hunger; a famine in your soul.

    I thought I planted beauty but it would never grow.

   Now i'm on my hands and knees

   Trying to gather up my dreams

   Trying to hold on to anything.

3) We could shake our fists

     In times like this,

    When we don't understand

    Or we could just hold hands.

[Chorus]

You and me; me and you.

Where you go I'll go too.

I'm with you. I'm with you.

'Til your heart finds a home,

I won't let you feel alone.

I'm with you. I'm with you, with you.

4) You do your best to build a higher wall.

    To keep love safe from every wrecking ball.

    When the dust is cleared, we will

    See the house that love rebuilt;

    Guarding beauty that lives here still.

  

[Chorus]

It's you and me; me and you...

5) Who can say I'm left with nothing?

    When I have all of you. All of you. Yeah.

     In the way you've always loved me.

     I remember he does too.

[Chorus]

It's you and me; me and you... 2x

"I'm With You" has rhyme, and what makes this song a poem is the symbol ("To keep love safe from every wrecking ball."), the allegory ("Love is a hunger; a famine in your soul."), and the metaphor ("Love is a hurricane in a blue sky."). Therefore, I believe "I'm With You" by Nichole Nordeman and Amy Grant is a fabulous song and poem.
