Return to Home Page Return to Anne Margetson Index WORK OF ART Deep in the corner of every heart Is a poem, or story or a song to write. In some it is latent and buried so deep That it is hard to stir it from it's sleep. To others these things flow like streams Rushing to seas and places yet unknown, Tumbling from both their heart and pen And other ideas build up in their dreams. Fingers unable to keep up with each thought As they rush to break forth as if from a prison. They have some visions and ideas to share, A story that they long to tell, a song to sing, A picture on canvas that has to be caught. So search deep into your heart and soul, Find that special story that you have to tell. Look for a way to fulfill an empty dream, Hold a pen or paint brush, then reach for a goal. No one but close ones may ever see your work of art, But it is yours, it may be a letter penned with love, Or just a simple verse on a birthday, or Christmas card. But it is of you, given with love from a precious heart. M Ann Margetson Dec 20 1997 ©
