Wr- 'i' -ter

I write when I am happy,

I write when I am sad,

I write when I feel worthy,

Or when I am feeling bad.

I write when love is everywhere,

I write when love is enough,

I write when love is far from me

And when the times, they get tough.

I write when a loved soul departs,

I write when sorrow is near,

I write when the heart is in pain

And my eyes have a tear.

I write when I see something wrong,

I write when something is unjust,

I write when a lie is told

And someone breaks a trust.

I write when the summer is near,

I write when it's about to rain.

I write when the autumn sheds

And the snow knocks the window pane.

I write the words that come to mind,

I write the words unknown.

I write the words that touch a chord

And the heart in me had foreknown.

I write to express my feelings,

I write to show I care,

I write to tell I wonder

And the pouring words lay my thoughts bare.

I write because I love to write,

I write because I want,

I write because there is so much to write

And without it live I cannot.
