I always tried to write for peace If death and darkness still release I believed misfortunes were not told If not to watch my words unfold At night I prayed nourish my gift Give me the words one soul would lift I would trade the chance for one kiss To sit at home and write of this I prayed to God a simple man All I would need was pen in hand Love can be an eternal fixture In my poems I paint its picture Otherwise I would never know If I didn’t write I couldn’t show Read between the flowery lines Fine love and death there intertwines One night God gave me one to kiss He whispered I would not need this Took the ink from my sharpest pen Gave me Woman to think again |

I liked this one. Never vow to give up the gifts God gives you in life. Be it the love of words or the love of .... love. |

You're still creating poetry, Walt.....only in a different form. The sheets just stopped being paper. |
