Did The Poet Speak?

Did you see the poet?

Did he pass this way?

Did the poet speak to you?,

What did the poet say?

 

The poet said to dream,

'tis dreams that make you strong,

The poet said to admit your faults,

whenever you are wrong.

 

The poet said to stand together,

yet apart enough for each to grow,

love and trust your children,

enough to finally let them go.

 

The poet said wear life loosely,

share with others what you own,

learn to laugh at troubles,

and you will never be alone.

 

The poet said to live life fully,

don't run to deaths embrace,

the poet said he loves us,

and you could see it on his face.
