Hold My Hand To Write Poem by Hebert Logerie

Hold my hand to teach me how to write
Take me to the library. I need to shed light
On a few words that I have never seen before
Teach me how to spell, that can open a new door
For my future. I want to learn. I'm eager to learn
Feed my starving brain and help the minorities too
Let's have a picnic of great books, a book fair. I yearn
For the day where everyone is literate. There's no fool
Refusing to spend some quality time at the library
Show me how to pick beautiful words from the forest
Eventually, I would love to write a book of comedy
Many books of poetry, novels about lovers and pests
Hold my hand and be patient with me and give me time
To increase the zest of my writing. Show me how to rhyme
I want to write about liberty, love, peace, health, and freedom
Especially freedom of speech. Tonight, I hope there's no quorum
For the Board meeting. I would love to have a book party for
Disadvantaged children and for minorities. Free entry at the door
Admission is free! Wow! Everybody is learning and having fun
When the world is literate, there will be less poverty under the sun.
