She wasted her talent for most of her life
Buried down deep in her soul
Knowing she had the words to heal
But no one would ever know

She could see inside a person's heart
She knew how to fix their pain
She could even find the rainbow
Each time that it started to rain

And though she had never been there
She could still understand their grief
She knew what each one was looking for
And could offer a little relief

She was more than your everyday poet
For she had such a special gift
She could always bring her words to life
To set our souls adrift

There was something about the words she chose
That was simple, with understanding
Her words were kind and well defined
Suggesting, but never demanding

How many lives could this poet have touched
If she would have only followed through?
Don't be afraid to write what you feel
For this poet, could even be you
