World Poetry Day, 2023

I wrote this for a friend on this day of celebrating poetry. I won’t disclose exactly who it was for, but they know who they are.

On this day of lyrics and prose
I find it to be hard
Are these the right words I chose?
I ask...for I am not a bard

During times of strife
Thou art a shining light
Your presence in my life
Will always make things right
