A poem a day, that's all I'm after,
Nothing too slower, nothing too faster;
A poem to brighten up your mood-
Not too coarse and not too crude.
Words to lift your mind and soul,
And take you out of any deep, dark hole;
Words to make you pause and think,
To cause your mind and soul to link.
Thoughts that flow, like melted butter,
Shedding worries from your brain's clutter;
Hoping you will laugh or cry,
and wonder at the reason why.
Stirring memories of past events,
Whether or not most make sense;
A trip down life's old memory lane,
A ride on a long-forgotten train.
Lines to cheer you through the day,
Paragraphs to find your way;
Despair can come without much warning,
This poem of joy goes out to you this morning.
Take this poem and share a smile,
It just lasts a little while;
Take this cup of pleasant brew,
And make this day brand-new.
