Truth visits in my daughters voice
filled with lyric verse and pros
bringing smiles to my face once again
She knows me for the poet I am
and knows also the journey
as we both share this time of discovery|
Writing of love and devotion
to husband and children alike
A forte' of hers, I admire
May the blue birds of verse
|visit her daily
spinning tales for her to share
Might the God of us all
give her a strong voice
that husband and children might hear
An older man stands here
with little more than memories
and verse from another time
Pleading for another poet
to consider the pain of man
and in doing so,
right the wrongs for us all.
