For the Love of Words

For the love of words
I and my pen unite
Wielding our bladed passion
With sharp literary might

Every idea we dissect
Leaving nothing veiled
All emotions subject
To our precise scale

Every stroke we make
Carves history out of time
Creating legacies that last
With our rythm and rhyme

Inspiring the young
To strive for the sky
Comforting the hurt
Helping broken wings fly

Still I and my pen
Will continue our scrawling
For the love of words
Has given us this calling
