Everybody has a poem buried deep down inside
it will either make you laugh or make you cry
It may be utterly kiddish or very adult like
everyone different with an oh yeah or a why.
Some have nothing to much in particular to say
others have a story that they would like to tell
You may read about a beautiful sunrise today
or a sad one about a life that has gone to hell.
Each poem has it's own personality and style
written from the heart, mind, body and soul
Tears of joy and tears of sorrow linger a while
happiness and sadness mixed, you never know.
Goals and dreams reached or having fallen short or broken
truth and hope holds up while lies and despair drag down
Poems written that may eventually become that gold token
sent from you to me and me to you as they are found.
All the I love yous and the I hate yous
the you need this now and don't want that
Doesn't matter or you'd better pay your dues
the best thing to happen or oh no it's a trap.
The he said she said you'd better listen to me
they live, they love, they hate, they die
You saw them land or they came from the sea
all poets won't make it but at least they try.
Everybody has a poem buried deep down inside
it will either make you laugh or make you cry
It may be utterly kiddish or very adult like
everyone different with an oh yeah or a why.
Goals and dreams reached or having fallen short or broken
truth and hope holds up while lies and despair drag down
Poems written that may eventually become that gold token
sent from you to me and me to you as they are found.
