Hello, Everyone

My name, is William Darnell Sr. I'm a retired carpenter, and a father of 5 grown children, 4 boys, and a beautiful daughter. My wife's passed away, 13 yrs now, so that makes me, a widower. My oldest, a son, is passed as well. I also have 6 grandchildren, 4 boys, and 2 beautiful granddaughter's. I've been writing poetry for around 20 yrs. My inspiration's God, my 7th grade English teacher, and my woodshop teacher. The greatest thing I have ever done, was married my wife, may she rest in peace, and the children she has given us. I was supposed to write a story of a tragedy that has happened to my family. But, having some difficulties. So, I'm just going to come right out and tell you. Two of my children had been raped, by a family member as some or maybe most of you might well know. My late wife's little brother done this. I hold myself responsible, most say, it wasn't my fault and I get that. But, the truth is, we knew. more to come... And, for this reason alone, that we knew, I hold responsible. I, as a father, husband, protector, and a man should have been assertive, regardless of my wife's feelings, having our children's best interest at mind, and said no, absolutely not! Ok, this is a Bio, an entry as to who I am, a briefing. I'll carry this story over to my blog. Anyways, that's me!

Best of Wishes,

William

Artist Hands

 I used to be a carpenter by profession; there are just endless possibilities. A carpenter is already an artist. Remember, I had a poem written inspired by a quoted poetry contest held by Regina McIntyre, which I didn't win, but the quote I picked was one by Milton Berle, "If Opportunity Doesn't Knock, Build a Door." 

That quote inspired me but, at the same time, made me think here. Wait a minute here, Billyboy, go to work. Well, you'll have to read it now? The poem is in our first Anthology book, and we thought it appropriate for the occasion. At the ending of the poem, it captures three different careers into a sentence like this: It doesn't word for word but covers being an; carpenter, artist, and poet. And this drawing is symbolic to this, and well, the picture of the hands sells it! 

"In a field of study way different from before, in the literary world of good wholesome writing, sometimes about doors.

So, here I sit writing as I do, the grandest of opportunities that now display to you. A muse, if you wish, to me, the product of options success."

Good Night, Everyone!

Best of Wishes,

William

Constance, thank you! I can only strive to be better than the day before. There isn't any reason we can't be a better version of ourselves daily. Have a beautiful day! Best of Wishes, William
