Inspiration

It may be

A cloud in the sky

Or a mournful tear

In your saddened eyes

 

The smile upon

A stranger’s face

The childhood memory

Of a long forgotten place

 

When you felt a tickle

There upon your funny bone

Laugh so hard it almost hurts

Just as you hear a ring on the phone

 

The feeling you once knew

When a friend did you wrong

And the change of your mood

On the radio an old favorite song

 

And that one special pet

Always with that look of love

Yes, a picture is worth a million words

Especially what your heart speaks of

 

And then there’s your first love

Oh, the ecstasy your young heart felt

The weakening of your knees

So in love you thought you’d melt

 

Dig deep into your heart

Unchain the words waiting there

Give them the freedom they deserve

Show to all that you care
