Finishing Touch

A poem can be written 
In many different styles
It tells of our heartaches
Our troubles and trials

It tells of our failures
Our many victories
We write of our miracles
Or a fatal disease

We share our compassion
Our sorrows, our smiles
We write of salvation
Or the one who defiles

We tell of our friendships
Or a love long lost
A cold winters night
With autumn's first frost

We write happy endings
Or a sad mystery
We tell of our bondage
And our quest to be free

The poet gets weary
From writing so much
His heart is his signature
His finishing touch

The poet also gets a sore butt, but the satisfaction gained of completing those finishing touches and adding clout to his reputable signature, is well worth the pain. (soup mail)
