And She Began To Write
AND SHE BEGAN TO WRITE...
Let me tell you a story
Of how a girl began to write ~
She loved her third grade teacher -
Soft, kind, thoughtful - a shining light;
She had another teacher,
Who taught her English's magic trick,
Inspired her to work with words,
Sharpened her language, made it slick;
She fell in love with the forms,
the rhythm and rhyme of poetry;
Since then, with her pen, she's been
Interlacing word tapestry;
I think you'd have guessed by now,
I write about my writing trip,
If not for my professors,
I wouldn't have honed my penmanship;
Forever grateful to God
for such gurus who guided me,
I wouldn't be where I'm today
sans them to help my writing spree.
