Are there yet those thoughtful people
Who love the poets words of rhyme?
Are we too busy with daily care?
Are our emotions lost to time?
Do we not have a fleeting moment
Just to sit and meditate;
To, read some lovely words of rhyme
Of something small or something great?
When we can read and meditate
All the poets thoughts we share.
We can see within his life---
His deepest emotion, his deepest care.
And, we can see his lighter side,
Or, even his anger, fierce;
His calm, his anguish, his love, his hate,
Or, thoughts which, through his heart do pierce.
If you are one of those thoughtful people
Who have a moment or two of time
To sit, relax and enjoy life,
I hope you'll enjoy this book of rhyme.
