I Love Poetry

 

I love poetry,
And I really can't say why:
It's somewhat a mystery,
Why it gives me such a high.

I guess there's something
About playing around with words;
And somehow expressing
What my heart's inclined towards.

It's always amazing
When I'm thinking about a line,
Phrasing and re-phrasing,
A thought to define:

It's hard to explain
What goes on inside my head,
I'm analysing pain
And my heart speaks instead.

May I Still


If on life's road, my strength should fail,
May I still tarry to contend,
With will and zeal to prevail,
My earthly purpose to defend.

And should it be, that all seems lost,
May I still persist in this hope,
That no matter what the cost,
Beyond my sight, there's boundless scope.

Should I but tread where angels dare,
In vain and foolish presumption,
May I still have the sense to care,
For kind and thoughtful correction.

And should it be, that friend or foe,
Should need a hand along the way,
May I still have the grace to know,
That I must never turn away.
