Why do we write?

A poet is someone Who writes a thought. A Poet is someone Who thinks a lot. A person of contrasts Who dreams a lot. Reality seldom detracts From goals that are sought. They dream of perfection In a world so wrought With constant distraction True joy is sought. They write of life As it happens to them They strive through strife And write on a whim. Their goal to help others Providing words in rhyme helping like mothers Providing direction in time. Hearts that ache for mankind Inspiring words that rhyme Writing with inspired mind Don't expect to make a dime. Inspired from above By an unknown source Turn words to love By caring of couse. We love to write all day long Hoping to help others in need. A chorus of humanity's song Hoping to plant a hopeful seed. Luke July 14th 2009
