Write From Your Heart

Write from your heart every word on the page
Phrases that uplift or, merely, set the stage
For your readers’ eager perusal and meditation
Express your deepest thoughts without hesitation,
Believe your thoughts are valuable to others
Hone them well with ideas … and your druthers,
Make them memorable with keen metaphors
To the inquiring, receptive mind, open up doors.
