A Different Way

I wish I could look inside my head And read every word that I've ever said Would I recognise myself today And say The same things in a different way

Thank you, Christuraj. I was surprised to get such kind and encouraging comments on this poem; I appreciate every one of them. My simple poetry helps me think and take my mind off other things that concern me. At nearly 85, my brain is more than a little rusty. I hope you have a pleasant day, Christuraj. Take care, Shirley

About 35 years ago I learned the hard way, to always say what's on your mind because you may not get a second chance. Your words hold much truth, Shirley, congrats on your win. John
