She wrote a poem for me,when life had beaten me down She wrote a poem for me,and turned my life around: And oh those words she wrote to me,they warmed my broken heart, She pointed out the good in me, she gave me strength to start: To find a better world for me, with hope to carry on to use the hurt I felt inside, to make me brave and strong; Many years have come and gone since she wrote that poem I found another world for me, true love, a happy home; But I have not forgotten, from whench I got that start She took a frightened broken girl and drew me to her heart:
So today I'll write a poem for her in hopes that she will see The words in poem that she wrote, meant the world to me; And maybe in this poem, she'll find the strength she needs And it will have come full circle, the strength she gave to me... -Bobby Smith copyright1996 In loving memory of my friend Bonnie Talley |
