The gift of words, are within all to reach, <br />Wisdom and faith with inspiration goes; <br />You'll be rewarded, which fluently shows, <br />Past knowledge, this all, before did teach. <br />There's no word unworthy, on this to preach, <br />Vocabulary gains, continues, grows; <br />Shall be rewarded, in poetry, prose, <br />Spontaneous, meticulous, verse, speech. <br />Time will then be critic to all you say, <br />Coming generations shall know the truth <br />And gain their knowledge according to this. <br />For nothing unworthy with time shall stay, <br />Whether done with rules or freshness of youth; <br />To think otherwise, - just a vainly bliss.<br /><br />Peter S.
