as a young child I loved to write my small sharp pencil I'd hold tight and close my eyes with inner sight grasp well what I was thinking with rhymes and rhythm blinking I wrote throughout my teenage years then took some pauses filled with cheers to foster life in other spheres with husband's love caressing and our three children blessing the words all slept as years flew by until one day I thought to try and wake them up so they could fly find rhythm now awaiting as I assume creating hooray my poems multiplied no longer did they need to hide I published two small books with pride while most poems were heading on PS website spreading since then the time has flown so fast my golden years are here at last with rhyme and rhythm still a blast so happy to be writing though memory is slighting . . . let my rhythm flow
