[hometext] => When I was 17, I was going to sing Christmas carols...The accomplishment of our group was larger than we knew...Every word is true...
[bodytext] => It lasted fifteen minutes
I was in a rush Heading through the halls Of a dreary nursing home In attempt to brighten days Of a few lost souls During the holidays A feeble utterance Reached my ears "Help me," was the strained plee The voice from a little lady Also in a hurry To hear the cheerful singing Of a small group Accomplishing more than they knew I stopped to realize Her feet could hardly carry This tired body Weathered by the days Spent roaming these lonely halls I took her arm as we walked on No longer caring if I was late We finally reached our destination With no time to spare But this now tired lady Needed to settle into a chair I held her hand as she lowered her hips Unheard words parted her lips Nothing said in voice Her eyes softened And loneliness faded As a heartfelt thank you Streamed down her cheeks I walked to the front of the crowd Singing loud and proud And was nearly overwhelmed By what I witnessed next Forty eyes danced along With the same unheard thank you Taking the lead From a little lady Who was out of the lonely halls [comments] => 10 [counter] => 187 [topic] => 43 [informant] => karoody [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
