Only A Poet

Post by DarleneG » Tue Oct 20, 2015 8:40 am

In this world of many sorrows
there are champions I know,
that turn life's coin over,
and head's up, they show.

Because only a poet
can see the ugly that's here,
then write something beautiful
with others to share.

So God bless all the poets
who see life's others side,
and who write to inspire
where sorrow abides.
