Why Do I Write

by francie-lynch

To lift a thought to a song, To redress perceived wrongs; To relive my youth, To expose the truth; To express my love, To see a pigeon as a dove; To foresee the future, To capture the elusive; To give voice to the abused, To find refuge when refused; To immortalize loved ones, To embrace the shunned ones; To know stars are fireflies, To scrape away lies; To explain time is just a moment, But enternity's in a sonnet. Simply put, It's the right thing to do.
