DONNA WOODS

THE LYRICIST

These are my words and this is my song

I wrote the lyrics, to me they do belong

I am the writer, the words are my own

I write in company and I write all alone

Some people try to criticise my words

And insult my rhythm and rhyme

But those people don't cause me bother

They simply just aren't worth the time

I could hand a pen to them to write

But they would struggle to write a thing

They don't have the mind of a writer

Or the gift of this unique blessing

I was born and raised to be a writer

Poetry is always my favourite choice

I feel it gives the world true meaning

And it gives myself and life a voice

The critics will always find a fault

They condemn what I have written

But I can't help but somehow wonder

If they are yet secretly smitten

I am a writer and Poetry is my gift

I can use words to bother lower and lift

These are words and this is my song

I wrote the lyrics, to me they do belong
