If I Were a Poet

If I were a poet, I'd write about 
life's simplest pleasures. 
I'd write about daydreaming 
under a beautiful tree, 
surrounded by a quiet crisp 
breeze.
If I were a poet I'd be able to 
exhilarate my readers with such 
words that awaken their souls 
and show them that life is truly 
a blessing. 
I'd let everyone know what's in 
my heart and teach them there 
is a light, a silver lining! That 
there is always hope. 
I'd Take them on a journey 
through my dreams, and share 
my thoughts of brotherhood 
and admiration for the earth 
and it's gifts. 
If I were a poet.. I'd create a 
magical inspirational place for 
all hearts of darkness to enter 
in need of a kind word. 
If i were a poet, my pen and 
paper like weapons on the 
negative forces of the mind. 
The nagging fear. The 
perpetual hostility in an 
awkward world. 
But I am not a poet. I'm simply 
a good person gifted in finding 
appreciation in my simple life.
