The Walk

Do not follow the crowd,
stand tall and be proud,
keep your head high,
and it is okay to be shy,
but always try,
walking together through the fear,
I shead a tear,
knowing God will help us
to persevere.

A Poet Dying Young

When a poet dies young,
will his lyrics be put into a song.
Or will he be crucified and hung?
Will they remember his creed,
The last of a dying breed?
Maybe he will be remembered by his bad deeds.
Or leave lasting impression,
of written expression,
Then that indeed,
will be yesterday's planted seed,
a book that one day,
someone may find and read.
