! Being Counted In! Poem by Marvin Brato Sr

To be counted in

as poet among others

who posted in Poemhunter

is an honorable standing



I am only a neophyte

as far as being a poet

I just desire to express

the sentiments within



I do believe every poet

has the same conviction

the way I feel about freedom

as expression of one's thoughts



Like the sun in the morning

every dream has got to shine

it unveils human understanding

about existence so innate as faith
