If Only I Could

If I could write a poem. to chase the hurt away. I would give to you those words, for you to read each day. If I could write a poem, to rid the world of hate. I would share it with the world, before it gets too late. If I could write a poem, to fill all hearts with peace. I would send out my message, so all the wars would cease. If I could write a poem, to show you God’s true grace. Then you would want for nothing, but bask in his embrace.

Poetry releases the pain, but it still remains.. some say time heals sorrow, but i think we just learn to live with them.. nicely done Jerry..
