Poetry Miracle

I have written Poetry for many years,
I was chosen for the William Shakespeare Award.

Chosen for Editor's Choice Award, 
Because the company liked my poems.

Appeared in the books published In the United States.
A copy of two books I wrote appeared in the Library of Congress.

Recently they chose my Thanksgiving poem for their letter and calendar,
What a nice honor that was.

I was photographed with my trophy for excellence in Poetry.
That was a lovely surprise and appeared on the Letter and Calendar.

Always say I am not getting older, I am getting younger,
You have to have your favorite hobbies.

Sending my relatives a copy of my poem,
Would be nice they would be proud of me.

God provides us with miracles, when we least expect them.
I will always be thankful.

Thank you for showing those young ones of us what can happen with faith. I can imagine Poetry Soup is proud of you, too.
