to write

For mama and daddy.
Thanks for giving me the pen.

To write is to teach, to compensate
To commend, to condense, to indicate.
To collate, to indict, to comprehend,
To write is to feel, to connect.

To write is to be, to decide.
To feel, to celebrate, to remind.
To send, to inform, to express,
To write is to choose, to mend.

to write is to seek, to further:
To accuse, to justify, to order.
To find, to announce, to build,
To write is to practice, to preach.

To write is to fight and to soar,
To fear and to bear all sores.
To spill, to collide, to kindle,
To write is a mystery to solve.
