Sometimes life is strange
Leading us down dark paths
Where we fear that darkness
And can not see where we go
Then we find the words
That are written to read
Of a poem, or story that reaches out
Coming from deep within the soul
It leads us back in the right direction
For the poet and writer can touch us this way
That is when the reader finds the light
For they will always return once again
Sometimes the words are strange
They chill to the very core inside
Telling dark tales that dwell on fear
But we always need to read some more
The writer always feeds the imagination
Showing the pictures etched on the mind
No movie could ever match that skill
So we bless all the writers with gracious hearts
