From A Distance


From a distance you've read the verses
I've written but did you read between the lines?
I wonder if you understand me,
I've offered my soul in every
rhyme.
I suppose that's what a writer does
and the legacy we leave,
giving its readers a glimpse of ourselves
with words of wisdom we hope you believe.
From a distance I pray you might
know who I am,
I hurt just like you and my heart understands.
I hope I write words you wanted
to say,
that God chose me to brighten
your day.
From far in a distance I pray
you might see
a peek inside of who I
try hard to be.
A person who cares, a soul
that is real,
that strives to portray life's
emotions we feel.
The greatest words are not
spoken but written,
and come from a place
that should never be hidden.
But shared with the world
rhyme after rhyme,
a piece of my soul
line after line.
