Depth's of the Soul: Poems of Experience

By Joe Louis Poteat

DEPTHS OF THE SOUL
POEMS OF EXPERIENCE
Comes from the soul,
The depths of ones heart,
write about many things,
Things that come and go in ones lifetime,
experience comes with lessons,
You have to study to pass the test,
You have to work at it,
To post a positive attitude into the realm of the possible dream.
I write from the depths,
You must survive the trip,
To come breathing the renewed freshness,
That contained in the contents of these pages.
