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.
