You'Re What Makes Me Glow
I'm not arrogant nor am I conceded
I don't brag about what I can do
for my poem would be nothing if you didn't read it
thus I shine because of you
Too often folks that do the greatest things
believe that they deserve all of the credit
but you're all behind the joy that my poetry brings
and my God wont let me forget it.
Each time I sit down to make my pen bleed
it is you that I'm thinking about
each of you give me the love and support that I need
and cause the best of my poetry to come out.
I pour my heart out in each poem that I write
there is pure love in every single line
but the support from you is the source of my might
and your love is what causes me to shine.
Its true I was born possessing a special gift
it is a gift that I've always shared
but it would have been one that I could do nothing with
if none of you had a heart that cared.
So whenever I'm asked about this light of mine
I make sure to let all people know
that it's nothing I do to make me shine
but you all are what makes me glow.
