A Poem a Day

Behind icy cold stares of vague minds
Our inner most thoughts are kept at bay
The eyes of the brain so easily reminds
That a poem a day keeps the doctor away

Connect with surroundings, make contact with art
Marvel at the sights of children at play
Open the love filled eyes of your heart
But a poem a day keeps the doctor away

When mists and winds submit you to drying
The eyes of a soul who’ll find a way
Hypnotic relief in cleansing and crying
As a poem a day keeps the doctor away

The human condition allows us to bear
Emotions that brim over day by day
Exclaim the knowledge of comfort and care
While a poem a day keeps the doctor away
