Inspiration is all around me:
But, particularly in one place.
It started with a smile…
attached to a very friendly face.

It started through kindness;
Words of wisdom and love;
It started from serendipity…
along with a touch from above.

It made me write my words;
It makes me strive for more;
It provides me with serenity…
and a curiosity to further explore.

Every person should have a muse;
A face that helps one understand;
The face that I have seen…
makes me want to be a better man.
