I've tried and tried to find the words
That poetry must express
The rhyme, the meter and the theme
With contents that would impress
The more I tried to put in words
And force my thoughts to form
More weary my efforts then became
I wasn't close to getting warm. So I lay down and rested
And gave my mind a chance to know
Just what I really wanted
Then the words began to flow. In an instant moment
In that special time
There cometh a ray of light
Its what makes me want to write
Now all those thoughts and dreams
That in my mind seemed far away
Are now the precious wonders
That I write about today.
