The Beginnings (Of Laying It Down)

I am a woman with a pen Sounds lame but listen again. I am a woman with a pen. Stories and schemes Weaver of fairy tales or broken dreams. Little girls at wishing wells pretty pink dresses with piggy tales. Adventure to sew. Hearts to win. I am a woman with a pen. Strong boys, stiff upper lips muddy shoes, frogs clutched in fists. Fishing poles or computer screens little boys with man sized dreams. Dragons to slay Hearts to win I am a woman With a pen It’s deceptive this power I claim. Makes me believe I can do anything.
