The Written Word
Tammara Cappellano 1958 (Vancouver, Wa)
The written word is my way
To express just how I feel.
Moments lived and memories
Are shared in what I say.
Most of them are sadness,
Expressing life I've lived.
Moments that I can't forget,
Are all I have to give.
My poems are my footprint.
That I can leave behind.
They will live forever
Expressing moments in mind.
The written word. It helps me see.
Lessons that I have learned.
They remind me that I'm really strong
And my respect's been finally earned.
Yes, they are of sadness.
Yes they are of pain.
The written word it keeps me safe,
So I don't go insane.
The written word. It helps my soul,
And let's the darkness pass.
Simple words that say so much,
Is all this poet has.
