Poetry And The Bliss In This Poem by Denis Martindale

Is there a poem or a song that nestles in your heart
That blesses you the whole day long as truly wondrous art?
Is there a melody or rhyme, a lullaby you heard,
Or just one phrase that sounds sublime, or aptly-chosen word?
Is there great meaning God relays within some winsome verse,
Found worthy still of Mankind's praise once admiration stirs?
Is there a stirring through insight that you should write as well?
If yes, then I'll pray day and night for stories you could tell.
A little poem sets the scene, a song gives voice to love,
How many poems have there been? Dear friends, not near enough!
