The Unknown Poet

She wasted her talent for most of her life Buried down deep in her soul Knowing she had the words to heal But no one would ever know She could see inside a person's heart She knew how to fix their pain She could even find the rainbow Each time that it started to rain And though she had never been there She could still understand their grief She knew what each was looking for And could offer a little relief She was more than your everyday poet For she had such a special gift She could always bring her words to life To set our souls adrift There was something about the words she chose That was simple, with understanding Her words were kind and well defined Suggesting, but never demanding How many lives could this poet have touched If she would have only followed through? Don't be afraid to write what you feel For this poet, could even be you
