Poet's Book

the art of love is my specialty
and being in love is all about me
and i've had my heart aches 
and often wrote about
i have an understanding
about being hurt
i share it with other people
who someone did desert
i have a special gift 
that i sometimes give to God
a good part of my wisdom
and a big piece of my heart
i am an all american
a patriot that votes
often times when i'm read 
people see my  quotes
my heritage is in my heart
my history will not be forgotten
often times i write a line
and tell about the rotten
through the years
i felt the fears
that brought my soul to tears
but i'm glad i took the time
to write it rhyme
so that someone out there listens
