I Am a Poet

I am a poet with a pen In charge of writing the world I am in Constantly on the poetic move In search of words to rhyme for you I am a poet who seeks the truth Pours it out for all to use Giving to those who have a need Opening verse and setting it free My only hope is that one day My part in life will bring about change To the farthest corners of this great land In every heart of every woman and man I am a poet with a heart Leaving it open for my form of art Sensitive to life, love, and loss Holding hands with the paths that I cross I am a poet who takes the word Sets it straight on its life course I feel I am here to fill a need I am a poet for all to read
