“Write I will – until my heart stops – when the pen from my hand finally drops.” by author
I write about love and the beautiful dance
between those who fall into sweet romance.
I write on my hobbies, on everyday things,
and the wonderful joy a special day brings.
I write even on every favorite food
that I like to eat and movies I’ve viewed!
I write about friends whose paths cross with mine,
who shine like the stars when our planets align.
I write about family, sisters so dear,
and loved ones departed who’d brought me great cheer.
I write my philosophies. Strange some might be.
But I write of them if they matter to me.
I write of my Lord’s most wondrous creations,
of seasides, and mountains, and other locations.
I write of my homeland with plains green and vast.
My memories of it forever will last.
I write about creatures, both wild and tame,
and each precious pet that I’ve given a name.
I write on the gifts with which I’ve been blessed
and on life experiences that I’ve loved best.
I write on my hardships and sometimes on pain
and dreams I now realize that I dreamed in vain.
I write many ways, most often in rhyme -
oftentimes humorous, sometimes sublime.
I write and I’ll write until my heart stops -
when from my hand my pen at last drops.
