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