We Write

Some people write to tell their story
Others write to heal their soul
Some will write for fame and glory
Or a broken heart they must console

Some will write for self expression
For others it's a matter of pride
Some may tell of a deep depression
From all the scars they try to hide

Some may write with hopes and dreams
Or of tomorrows that's not yet come
Some will write of the way it seems
Or maybe where they're coming from

Some will tell of their heart's desires
Of a love that is meant to last
While some will write of blatant liars
Broken promises from the past

We write of our different devotions
There's never any wrong or right
We write from our many emotions
Whatever the reason, we write

Yes, there are many sources of inspiration that cause us to write, Larry. Far too many poems ring of sadness and loss. I'm a big fan of your work because you know how to tickle my funny bone but can also come up with a serious, meaningful verse like this one. Well done! Love, Carolyn
