The Wordsmiths

The word smiths are the poets and the writers.
Sometimes they make your days even brighter.
All because they can make your daily loads seem lighter.

Yes the word smiths can either make you laugh, and smile.
They can even succeed in making you cry.
Causing salty tear drops to freely flow from your
sorrow laden eyes.

They can make your problems seem to almost magically
disappear.  By seeing their own reflections in your  mirror.
They know your suffering and your inner most pain.
Doing their very best to explain the game of life to others
such as you.

The word smiths seek to inform and enlighten you
according to their own particular views and mind sets.
Often they look at the whole wide wonderful world
we live in with "rose colored glasses."  By seeking
enlightenment for the media's masses.

The word smiths of this blue planet earth we fondly
refer to as our home.  Would be completely lost
without their fellow readers and writers.
Where else would they have to offer for inspiration?
Is it sad there is not freedom of the press in
every nation?

Love as always,

This is deep and meaningful Roxanne--the writers can make you laugh or cry as you say--but they would be lost without the readers.

I agree with you one hundred percent Without readers, the wordsmiths would have any followers. Where did I learn the words, word smiths? There is a person on All Poetry who referred to me by those words. Thank you for your meaningful comments.
