In a world full of hate,
I turned to written words
and filled pages with love.

In a world full of sorrow,
I wrote about all beauty
and what was left was joy.

In a world full of politics,
I swore to express the truth
and heard the grateful responses.

In a world such as this,
I must turn to poetry
and find all things that are good
to survive in a word such as ours.
