Sandra Haight Poet Rhyme

My Life In Ten Lines

I enjoyed my young years crafting poems and art.

     At eighteen, I then married the love of my heart.

          By my age twenty-four, was a mother of three.

               Later, painting with oils was the pastime for me.

                    Finished college mid-forties with English BA;

                    as my poetry flourished- put paintings away.

               A proud grandma of five- of those married, are two-

          a sweet great-grandchild recently made her debut.

     Now retired, sold our business- but still on the go;

I'm so blessed with my life, riding each ebb and flow.
