A Special Group

I write because I am searching For what was never lost Does not everything in life Come at its own cost Sometimes the cost is small Other times it's great It's always best to show up early Rather then drag in late I have seen the richest men Men who have no soul To them the only thing that matters How big is your pile of gold Sometimes life is easy Other times it's hard There is no better feeling on earth Then stepping up off the prison yard Freedom is a special thing Especially once it's lost For it takes alot of fortitude To ever pay the cost I put alot of effort Into what I write As the Lord motivates me To share with you my plight I have gained alot of things Just by living right At the top of the list Is my friends on this site You have helped me grow and change You helped teach me how to learn In my soul you lit a fire And I love the way it burns So I wrote this little poem Just to let you know You are all dear to my heart And I do love you so You have shown me I'm not alone For I am part of group A very special group of friends Known as poetry soup
