The Most Popular Poem Written

The most popular poem written
Is the poem made for you
When you read it you feel the story
And somehow you know its true

You may feel yourself within it
Caught up within its lines
Believing what the words may say
It takes you back in time

The poem may remind you
Of a special time or place
The memory of a long lost love
Or the smile upon a face

You may read the poem and wonder
How it can be so true
Creates a feeling deep inside
Known only by a few

The most popular poem written
Is the poem made for you
When you read it you feel the story
And somehow you know its true
