Words of Life
Words for the speechless,
a melody for the deaf,
portrait for the blind.
Guidance for the lost,
a companion for the lonely,
acceptance for the undesired,
and comfort for the wounded.
It gives strength to the weak,
nourishment to the hungry,
A voice to the oppressed,
and freedom to the condemned.
I have been these
and poetry...
has been this for me.
