Secretaries Of Our Souls


What inspires us to write heart felt poetry To divulge our innermost thoughts and feelings It's certainly not to gain fame or fortune Ever heard of a millionaire poet Those two words are never uttered In the very same breath It's a proven fact poets don't write poetry With the view of earning a fortune Poets write poetry to satisfy an inner need To create to inspire to motivate That tug at the heartstrings That bring sunshine to dullest of days That express every day feelings In a most poetic way We know when the words just fall into place That something special is about to happen We don't need to wrack our brains Our innermost being writes the words We just dutifully record them And sign our name at the bottom We are secretaries of our soul
