Thank You, Anonymous! Poem by Denis Martindale

My word, you really write a lot!
Your rhymes shared everywhere!
And you can write for any plot,
As if your soul to bear...
How many times did you help me?
I truly can't recall,
Yet I applaud your poetry,
It's like a miracle!

Yes, it's nice to know you're humble
And private in a way,
For you're much less prone to stumble,
Through pride, that leads astray...
So more power to your pencil,
More power to your pen,
So that more pages you can fill
With poems now and then...

While all of us can't be like you,
Whoever you may be,
To your own self, you must be true,
Walk tall with dignity...
Because you've changed the world with prose,
You've shed your light abroad
And though your name God only knows,
Sometimes you've served the Lord!
