Confessions of a Teacher-Poet

I
Do not let your words die inside
That advice makes me a teacher-poet
Don't judge me, we both have the right 
To write: death comes before we know it

Hold each of your words like a flame on the end of a candle. Record it before it is snuffed out. Thank you friend!

Write while you still have breath to breathe ... dream while you still have a heart to feel and a head to think. It's a simple poem, but it speaks a large truth.

we believe, Sis, the right to write, before the final flight. I love what you share with the world ... big or small, no matter. We are putting it out in the Universe. Shalom, shalHOME, shalAUM. We shall overcome ... eternity is in our very be-ing Maureen Dear. amen
