So much love for poetry
Comes first with that story read~
When one was all cuddled up
Snug and warn within ones bed~

A baby small a room down the hall
Story read before to sleep~
All in rhyme a story fine
Then off to count the sheep~

Away back then I still remember when
My first story of poetry~
Lessons learned as candles burned
From a story read to me~

Since that time how I loved rhyme
The way that it would flow~
Explaining things in life that be
In the most beautiful way I know~

It gave one even then a special view
Of things most everybody sees~
Of all the things that life it brings
Like the birds and clouds and breeze~

Away back then I remember when
That first book that was read to me-
When I first learned as candles burned
The love of poetry~
