Heart of Inspiration
I wonder is Poe could have knownThat his pain would bring him fame?His words would become his legacySo the world would know his name Then there's "Romeo and Juliet" A Shakespeare contributionThis was written centuries agoBut it's still in distribution And what about this man named FrostKnown for "A Road Not Taken"Did he know the fire he'd light inside?Or the hunger that he'd awaken? Then there's a man named WhitmanKnown for "Song of Myself"Did he know that these word's he'd write.Would be a treasure on someone's shelf? And Elizabeth Barrett BrowningSaid, "Let Me Count the Ways"Did she understand these magical words,Would bring her so much praise? I'm sure they'd love to see this dayFor it would bring them much delightThey are the heart of our inspirationAnd the reason why we write
