I've heard so many
Harsh words in my time
Sent a few too
It's nice to have another
Send a different view

Someone thinking of me
Sending kind words
Could rekindle a hope
In Gods love and loving me

How wonderful life would be
If life could be poetry

With happy endings
And constant romance
People always willing
To give others a fair chance

Moon light and stars
To guide our way
Candle light shadows
For our body games

If only we took the time
To live poetry and rhyme

I do so understand this lovely sentiment; if only to live in poem, sometimes a glimmer is nice though

Oh, it's very thought-provoking!
I think that poetry is concentrated life, and not every poem has a happy end.
But luckily poetry much less speaks rude words.

Thank you for sharing!

If I had nothing but time
And nothing to do but rhyme,
I am sure I could become content
Yet these days I have little time spent
In the words of meter and rhyme.

enjoyed yours,
Gloom
