Written From The Heart

Poetry is a wonderful gift
When written from the heart;
It can bring a smile to a lonely face,
Or make you cry and tear you apart.

You are given a glimpse into someone's life
And with compassion you learn to feel,
The need to share with others,
Love and understanding, that is truly for real.

You don't ridicule others with the words you choose,
If you've never walked in their shoes;
You write with compassion and commitment,
When you care for others, you cannot lose!

The words that you write, may affect others' lives,
You must choose them wisely with care;
Write from the heart with love and compassion,
For this gift God has given, for you to share.

There's nothing more to do
