The heart of a poet,
Is a treasure indeed -
A chest full of passions,
Longing for others to see -

Silver and Gold,
Even jewels if you will -
As the poet pours forth,
It gives him a thrill -

To share what he feels,
Deep down in the heart -
Coming forth with emotions,
From out of the dark -

Very few there are,
That have such a gift -
Who can hear a heart speak,
Pen thoughts that uplift -

So God gave us the Poet,
Who can tell us what we feel -
Able to describe ones own emotions,
He moves us with his zeal -

While discerning our hearts,
They tend to draw us near -
Thank you God for the Poets,
Whom to us we deem so dear...

Is this like a genetic thing? Well written here.
