Man With the Voice

There was a man named Elvis
Whom they say had a gift
That gift was his voice
A voice, that always had a lift.

He was a great man who lived
A friend to everyone he touched
He was happy making others happy,
Let the poor, feel there was hope;
He had a voice, that did so much.

Gave the meaning of giving
Like air to which we breathe
Enjoyed grateful looks, of the living,
To see he's trying to help out;
In a life, with so much misery.

So here we go with that voice
That was trying to change this world
To be more of a giving one
And let us know, we all, have a choice.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
