when you plant a seed <br /> in the ground, and <br />water it, work it, weed it <br />till it grows... you've written <br /> <br /> the best poem you'll ever write. <br /> <br /> when you make a baby, <br /> waiting and planning for birth; <br />and you raise this child to adulthood <br /> with respect... you've written <br /> <br /> the best poem you'll ever write. <br /> <br /> when you live your life <br /> working honestly, giving <br /> all that you are and can be, <br /> never holding back... you've written <br /> <br /> the best poem you'll ever write. <br /> <br /> when you go to death openly <br /> with no regrets, not clinging <br /> to dreams that were not real, <br /> owning no one... you've written <br /> <br /> the best poem you'll ever write.<br /><br />Eric Cockrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-best-poem/
