If I could write poetry:

If I could write poetry,

I'd have a lot to sayI would write more, talk less , not boring some that way

Perhaps write short stories,or maybe even long

Remembering the things I did and people that I love

I wouldn't write my life story ,as interesting it may not be

I would write about the things I love, the short traveling I've done

It wouldn't seem so glorified as some have travel more

As art has always been another passion as I'm sitting on the shore

 I would paint as far as my eye could see

as my mind would wander thinking of the phase still used this day

'art is in the eye of the beholder' what else can I say

Passion and poetry races through my head

I can see so much , as I scribble sitting on my bed

I see  pictures and words ,like colors in my head

The sunrise and glory stars, which we see most everyday

The things in life we take for granted ,or does it just seem that way

************************************

Most of all I can recall, the sweet and comforting things

left behind the bitter things , much nicer ones I find

my children playing in the fields, no harm is being done

They laughed , they cried those happy tears

some others cannot find

*******************************

When day turns to night and their safely in their beds

What better feeling can one find dancing in your head

So if I could write  poetry,whether small no fancy thing

                                     I would write just happy thoughts,I know that I could bring
