Putting It On Paper Poem by Ray Hansell

I love to write down my thoughts
As they come to me
Never really knowing
What the final product will be

Will I write a poem of love?
Or one filled with regret
Or will I write a poem
About someone I can't forget?

Will I write of sadness?
That fills my soul
Or write about the years
That have made me grow old?

Or will I write of happiness?
That she brought to me
All the happy years
That she made me see

How she made me understand
That love is better shared
That life is so much sweeter
When someone is near to care
