Pne To Paper

PEN TO PAPER

To put pen to paper
Is such a grand caper
I stand in awe every time
To see talent surge
And figures emerge
Is really a very sweet rhyme

As the lines come together
I bet you’d rather
Do this more than any old thing
Putting rhyme to color
Is like the good mother
Teaching her children to sing

You see in my eyes
The sweet surprise
Of perspective coming alive
Through your adventures
There are no censures
Into them I will dive

I’ll swim in your visions
Forget televisions
And things of mass production
Yours are one of a kind
And I’m not so blind
To the worth of their seduction

I know there are nights
When it seems like a fight
To get to the magic table
The demons of doubt
I’ll help you rout
And you’ll find yourself more able

Show me your world
In hues unfurled
I really want you to see
That what you show
Is where I go
To bring out the best in me

I want to relate
To all my fate
And see it through your eyes
I bring to your table
My own special fable
Be it my truth or my lies

So please keep on going
And do your great showing
For as long as it all may take
Through your blood, sweat and beers
And all of the tears
My thirst I gratefully slake

Show me your world
In hues unfurled
I really want you to see
That what you show
Is where I go
To bring out the best in me

I want to relate
To all my fate
And see it through your eyes
I bring to your table
My own special fable
Be it my truth or my lies

So please keep on going
And do your great showing
For as long as it all may take
Through your blood, sweat and beers
And all of the tears
My thirst I gratefully slake
