My Paper Pen and Me

My paper, pen and me Stepping from the shadows. Not sure where we belong. Wondering where we slipped off track. And where life went so wrong. My nose to the grindstone. The whole world yet to see. We face the world together. My paper, pen and me. Attempting to rewrite myself. And change my whole outlook. Why write one new chapter. When I can write a brand new book. Changing my perspective. Of all the things I see. Taking care of business. My paper, pen and me. I'll write a new horizon. A rainbow in the sky. I'll write a new beginning. A new reason just to try. And before my book is finished. We will be flying free. Hells fire far behind us. My paper, pen and me. Proclaiming from the mountain tops. Life could not break my will. The proof is in my writings. I am standing still. No longer in the shadows. What will be will be. Heaven lights the way for. My paper, pen and me. Edwin C Hofert
