The Poem I Desire To Write

For so long I've had this deep desire
A need to write the perfect poem
One that will bring a tear to the driest eye
Brighten up the darkest soul

Hold the answers to all the questions
Man has ever cared to ask
Starting many on their journey
To a future free of their past

Giving hope to all the children
Those that have gone astray
Helping out the hapless pilgrim
That's been lost along the way

A poem that will bring to mind the best of times
When it was love that ruled the day
Making us want to give all we have and more
A deep desire for all to change

Is that to much to ask for
Too far out of reach or out of sight
A poem to change the very heart of man
The poem that I desire to write
