Poetic Wisdom


With head held high
I trudge along through life�s trials and tribulations
Adding a word here and another there
With a verse to be the end result a stanza
�Tis I that rely, on my past transgressions
To foster my poetic wisdom

Amazed the words can make their way
Through the scars of yesteryear
From the heart to the paper relentlessly onward, they trudge
Never hesitating to allow all to see inside the heart
Allowing the critics to be the judge

Somewhere along life�s path
I have emerged with very few answers
And a bundle of soul searching questions
Yet, no poet ever said it would be easy
Never was this a suggestion

So tonight, I�ll write
Using all the happiness and sadness
The ambivalence will steadfastly emerge from me
In addition, I�ll give thanks to God, for it comes from him
This poetic wisdom from within, poetic wisdom he has chosen me�to lend
