Humble Gratitude
By: Wayne Brown
(Writer’s Note: This verse was inspired by a tribute I received from a friend here on the Hub recently. I was very touched by the many fined words offered so sincerely and more humbled by the comments which followed. I thank “thebluestar” for that wonderful tribute and offer you the chance to read it as well at the following link) http://thebluestar.hubpages.com/hub/Parchment-to-Verse-A-Thank-You-to-A-fellow-Hubber
The sun shone brightly upon me today
Shining from Ireland, a land so far away
Like a spotlight shining on a stage ensemble
Shining only on me; making me ever so humble
The words of praise a friend would offer
Is far more dear than any monetary coffer
Those emotions offered so generous and free
Place me in awe and so very humble me
My scribes upon the page strike a heart
With a person a whole world apart
The power of words written upon the page
Putting me in the forefront; upon the stage
Words have promise, meaning, and life
Bringing forth emotions; softening the strife
Words have power to heal, mend, and repair
Bringing solace to those in deep despair
Readers bring life; breathing it into the words
Absorbing; giving meaning to phrases heard
Focusing words of emotion to life from the page
Giving kudos and thanks to the scribing sage
Though I write the words, I know not what they do
I pull them from my heart; place them there for you
To read and experience in any way you may
With the hope that they may impact your day
I am but a simple man; a scribe of words on the page
I write from my emotion as an actor on the stage
And though I place those words for all out there to see
It never fails; the response is always humbling to me
