My Pen

I don't need a poem When I have to write When I need a poem All I have to do is write My pen is full of words That swim real deep They reach the places of the mind Where emotions dare to speak If words were meant to shout I could use an explanation point But to get someones attention My words they must annoint To some this comes real easy Other have no clue We have this thing inside of us This gift with words we use For some it's inspiration A feeling we often use But there are times for accusations When citizens must accuse There are times we look around us And our eyes are struck with awe The beauty of Gods creation Eloquent words tell what we saw But love is the thing That's been discribed the most The pen maybe the only friend To one who's heart is broke You can love your country And you can love your god But it will allways be the little things That your words will applaud And if you have the gift Of making your words rhyme The world may remember you Until the end of time I don't need a poem All I need is a pen Put that with some paper And a time to begin
