My biggest inspiration did not come from the world around

It did not walk a thousand miles, save people, or wear a crown

It came from words printed on a hundred and fifty-five pages of lessons and laughter

That comforted me through childhood and became inspiration after

My mind now whirls on the computer and paper in the middle of the night

As new ideas and dreams begin to take flight


The lessons it taught in my life was for my heart to stay pure

To always try again and to never give up, even if I am unsure

That even if they seem unwilling, people can always change and learn

And no matter the situation the other cheek I can always turn

What taught me this wasn’t a parent, president, or something that can last the ages

It was words printed on a hundred and fifty-five pages


The author's comments:

This is probably my favorite of all the poems I've written. I wrote it right after I read an old childhood book that still gives me a warm happy feeling inside. As you can see I try to reflect the feeling it gives me in the poem.
