The Great Three

They are singers who sing
Influence of great worth they bring
To those that see them as a king
How their songs comfort like rain in spring

They are speakers who speak
Unto whose words man's heart loves to stick
Like some stew prepared for the tongue to lick
How their speeches mould life as though with a brick

They are writers who write
Whose pen knows the way that is right
Teaching the mind to receive the light
That comes through those writings which make one bright
