To God be the glory

The Poet

He was out on the highway, and the moon was his guide

We stopped for a coffee, when I gave him a ride

I said, where are you going, he said, any place is fine

We'll all be home someday, it's just a matter of time

I will always remember, how his face showed the years

His hands how they trembled, as he fought back the tears

When he showed my a picture, of a lady with a child

Then he spoke in a whisper, and he began to smile

I was a poet, a master of rhyme

She was still young then, she was still in her prime

We had a good life, there were songs to be sung

She was a good wife, she gave me a son

He was a fine boy, we watched him grow

Then war shook our nation, and he had to go

She died from a heartache, when he died in vain

And I die a little more, everyday

This picture holds a memory, this is all that is mine

For I am a poet, a master of rhyme
