Listen to poem:

My Guitar

Six strings that speak to me
Of love and anguish 
That talk to my soul 
About things of the heart
Lift my spirits when times are low
Speak the words I want to say
To those that mean the most
Bring joy to those who are feeling down
Move my feet to dance
My arms to wave
My voice to raise in joy
When times are dark
They speak of light
And celebrate the important things in life
Bring together black and white 
Help fight the Lord's good fight 
Deliver valentines to those you love
Break hearts with messages of lost love
Paint a picture, tell a tale
Make you laugh or cry 
But one thing's constant 
Those six strings they speak to me.

the title of the poem is a acronym for the order of strings on a guitar
