A Gift For the Gifted

DEDICATED TO: My Soup Family



When I read the words you write,

In my chest, a feeling tight.

Emotions take a a fleeing rein,

Washing away that distant pain

.

Could it be, my soul has found,

A purity that is unbound.

Heart felt words, my thirst is filled,

Budding rage, has now been stilled.



At last, I began to pen,

Words of encouragement once again.

To the poets far and wide,

Who share the "gift" I have inside.
