Finishing Touch

A poem can be written 

In many different styles

It tells of our heartaches

Our troubles and trials

It tells of our failures

Our many victories

We write of our miracles

Or a fatal disease

We share our compassion

Our sorrows, our smiles

We write of salvation

Or the one who defiles

We tell of our friendships

Or a love long lost

A cold winters night

With autumn's first frost

We write happy endings

Or a sad mystery

We tell of our bondage

And our quest to be free

The poet gets weary

From writing so much

His heart is his signature

His finishing touch

"His heart is his signature

This rocks! I love the flow, the message, everything.
Keep on expressing my friend and if you become weary, you know that my back is strong, I can carry any load, my heart has room, my love of all overflows and I always have plenty to give, so rest easy my dear poet, know that you are always loved, by all and most from Our Father Above:)

Your words are true. I always carry a journal for many years. These are my notes for the poetry of today. A writer uses memories, life and dreams to create.

His finishing touch"

I love the third stanza the most,
This is wonderful,
I write to relax me and to free my sorrows.
I enjoyed this write, you are very poetic.
You need to write a book, I'd for sure buy one.
