I Write With My Heart
Beautiful flowers greeted the sun
as I watched the little children run
Inspired by the warmth of the day
I wrote the first lines along the way
Failing my test in Trigonometry
I wept under the shade of a tree
Realizing what made it wrong
I finished the first stanza and sang a song
Sailing paper boats along the river
People waited as the cold air made them quiver
I felt their hopes, dreams, and sorrows
I wrote the last lines full of morose
I saw an ambulance in front of our door
I felt my heart trembled in sore
They carried a stretcher...a body covered with white
I stared at those starry stars, and I, continued to write
