Five Hundred Poem by Phil Soar

Five hundred times I've put the pen to paper
Or touched the keyboard, setting words in stone
Five Hundred times I've written down emotions
Sat down in a room, and been alone

Five hundred times, I've touched the mind of others
Or set a tear upon a smiling face
Five Hundred times I've led you on a journey
And left a memory in a special place

Five hundred times I've thought of unique secrets
And set them down, to be found in your brain
Five hundred times I've left you with a puzzle
You need to visit time and time again

Five hundred reasons that I feel are valid
To keep me writing more and more for you
Five hundred reasons that I will not squander
Unwritten words I'll think of, Till I'm through
