A Poet’s Prayer

Who gives the poet words to write
And where does he get the time
To make the message come out right
While keeping words in rhyme?

What makes the poet write a poem
About Who made night and day?
Why don't he let his poor brain roam
And find better things to say?

Or could it be we see the words
And miss all the real intent?
Shall we never soar like the birds
Working only to pay the rent?

So take just a small moment
And put away your strife
To see if your time is as well spent
As a poets song for life.

Or will you just stumble on
To earn one more days pay,
And let the morals and faith be done
By those who want to pray?
