| A POET |
I want to be a poet
To write lines every day
And look in the morning mirror
To watch every hair turn grey
I want to be a poet
To observe the good
As well as the unkind
To prove I am not blind
I want to be a poet
Not because of any pay
But because I must say
What I feel every day
I want to be a poet
With words as a friend
To easily come across
While in your room or den
