--For the 15th anniversary of www.YourDailyPoem.com--
Y ears unfold like pages in a book
O ffering surprising poetry,
U sing words that drew us in--to look.
R emembered on this anniversary,
D iverse tastes a thousand poets fed
A s they joind a poetry parade,
I nspiring or sobering, instead,
L ines that made us joyful or afraid.
Y ou brought together those who write and read,
P erplexed with life and voicing what the heart
O f all of us may dream about and need.
E ach of us is lifted up by art.
M ystery in lyrics never bores,
S ince the pulse of life you hear is yours.
