Give Words Time
I heard someone say that they don’t like poetry,
I hope they don’t close their mind
Just as I, with any prose, like to wait and see,
Hope I will continue and find
That the words I read are the words I need
To express feelings, simply sow a seed.
It may be a start or a bone of contention,
Herald thoughts, lead to invention
Of a best seller story or a perfect rhyme,
But I always give the words time,
To make an imprint, try me to impress,
Lead me to issues I have to address.
