Poets Vocation

Words of poetry, lessons learned.
Virtue, honor, honesty and valor,
From days of past as in the future,
Lessons of poets eagerly yearned.
Days that have passed are the words.
Years are the wisdom of writers.
Tears, laughter, heartache or joy,
Passion, humility, religion and politics,
No subject is latent or demeaning.
Keys are ours to read, to unlock doors.
Minds to bring challenge and charm,
Souls to be enriched and blessed,
Hearts without sorrow cannot love.
Freedom to share all they may know.
Poetic words bring about humanity.
