TED THE OLD POET*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
with ink-stained hands, Ted conjures up verses
with verses soft, tears he sheds
of dreams past and paths he tread
compassion for himself spreads

thank you, Ghairo! Over the past year, I wrote 2-3 poems a day and have (for now) an ample supply. Glad you liked the compassionate message. Wishing you a pleasant evening, Sara
