Subject: Words As Arm

Words As Arm

In your times of deepest despair
Know that there are those whom care
When woe and fear squeeze you tight
Please let us be your guiding light
When all seems lost and without hope
We will be there to help you cope
When death seems better than your life
Please let us help you rid your strife
As poets we lay our feelings bare
And more than most we deeply care
Love and truth we feel quite strong
And pain and agony we carry long
Such is the price that we must brook
To experience a softer, kinder look
So when fear has you in it's grip
Into your poet's mind please slip
And tell for all who hurt to see
No, it's not just hurting me
For when we hurt one soul in life
Many others do share your strife
Write it loud and say it clear
So that the multitudes can hear
Emotional wounds are very deep
And for long-after they will seep
Your poetry's like arms thrown wide
A safe place for those in pain to hide
A place of verity and love that's true
Created with compassion for the caring few
Use your gift with words as arm
To keep those of whom you care from harm
With your words you ease the pain
Yes, poetry helps to keep us sane.

Brian
