What Poetry Means To Me

Poetry was a gift to me - by those I choose to serve.
Helping people through negativity - stress and strife for to swerve. 
Poetry is a cherished friend - walking by your side.
Putting a smile on your face - and a spring in your stride!

Poets use words - to paint tapestries Grand and Serene.
Waiting to be discovered - their beauty to be seen!
Poetry can take you - deep within yourself.
Or much farther - than any book upon a shelf!

My poetry comes from my experiences, inspiration, and deep within my heart!
And from this precious gift - I will never part!
Poetry turns the darkest days - into those of purest pleasure!
And the absolute Best thing about Poetry: Everyone can have this blessed treasure!!!
