Embrace The We
top of page
There’s much that makes our lives seem dimmer
Joy and laughter is scarce a glimmer
Spending time in search of gladness
Escape from all this grief and sadness
Let this place be where you find
Solace and some peace of mind
There be smiles upon your face
Purging mopes, all frowns erased
Little ditties and longer odes
Limericks and beats so wode
All your blues with recommended
Daily poems will be upended
For if you have the whim and time
I offer you the perfect rhyme…
