I WRITE
by Madene Walker



I write to entertain with poems given me
In dreams that sometimes seem like fantasy.
I write to educate those dealing with pain;
On how to deal with it and balance regain.
I write to stimulate minds to think and decide
On the best way to live fully and not to hide.
I write to express my feelings and communicate
That we must love all living things - not hate.
I write to sort through my problems, put them in place,
Then understand what to do - the answers embrace.
I write to leave a part of my life for those I love
To remember my presence here when I go above.
