Never Too Late

At no time say never- that it is too late fulfilling accomplishments you've left undone. At times, what you long for is not met by fate; Must tend to those wishes yourself- to be done. I, married with children, had turned thirty-nine; two went off to college, the other, soon too. A gap in my life at this time seemed just fine for me to reach out, a new venture pursue. It took six long years- although what a great ride! As a part-time student, in college, I bloomed- with English BA, Business minor, my side- rewards in my writing and work status zoomed. At the graduation, my heart filled with cheer! With summa cum laude, Nineteen eighty-four, I walked on that stage with my family near- all praising my courage for growth to explore. At times, what you long for is not met by fate; at no time say never- that it is too late. Anapestic Tetrameter -/--/--/--/
