I'M Just Me

I'm a thinker, brain constantly firing, New ideas, not enough time. I'm compassionate, lending an ear, Helping others in their time of need And reaching for an outstretched hand. I'm a twin different from she yet the same. I'm quiet where she chatters on and on. We'er both very creative with our hands, Painting strokes into beautiful scenes And weaving tales of penned words. A high school sweetheart, a soulmate of mine, Married forty six years, it doesn't seem that long. He's a gem, a caregiver with loving hands. The chapters of my life of who I am Are still unfolding at each turn. Life is for living and having fun And that's what I plan right to the very end.

I love reading this little bio of yourself, connie. Yes, I remember you told me you had a twin. and you both sound talented. In my poem you just commented to, I had inverted the subject/verb, so it was youth that had fled (going onto the next line)
