Silent Voices Poem by louis rams

Silent voices

I'm writing this poem for all of you, cause true
Poets are far from few.
A true poet writes about every day life
The joys , the loves, the sacrifice.
There is not a topic they will not touch. Because
Life gives us " oh so much ".

Each poem is like a wave beating against the beach
Touching anyone that it can reach.
It can be as smooth as glass, and tell your stories
Of the present or past, and most of us have gone
Thru love, joy, sorrow, bitterness and hate
And other things in which we can relate.

We become the eyes and voices of the silent ones
Who are afraid to speak " cause they feel they are weak "
We see their tears, we feel their pain, but in silence they remain.
A true poet tells what others do not, and they'll continue to write
" they will not stop ".
