As You Share Your Life Thru Poetry
How does your mind and soul blossom thru life?
It begins in childhood with churches and schools.
Thru your adolescence it’s tinged with strife,
But all of these are the greatest of tools.
Circumstances dictate how you will be raised,
How other people’s words will color you.
Parents may be faulted or may be praised,
But as you grow you will form your own view.
When, as you mature, and wisdom arrives,
It’s clear your words, either written or said,
May live on to influence, mold others’ lives,
And thru their poems, and yours, you’ll be led.
Write your words wisely for others to see
As you share your life through poetry!
