If I Were a Poet

If I were a poet, I'd write about life's simplest pleasures.  I'd write about daydreaming under a beautiful tree, surrounded by a quiet crisp breeze. If I were a poet I'd be able to exhilarate my readers with such words that awaken their souls and show them that life is truly a blessing.  I'd let everyone know what's in my heart and teach them there is a light, a silver lining! That there is always hope.  I'd Take them on a journey through my dreams, and share my thoughts of brotherhood and admiration for the earth and it's gifts.  If I were a poet.. I'd create a magical inspirational place for all hearts of darkness to enter in need of a kind word.  If i were a poet, my pen and paper like weapons on the negative forces of the mind. The nagging fear. The perpetual hostility in an awkward world.  But I am not a poet. I'm simply a good person gifted in finding appreciation in my simple life.
