It’s never too late to begin a new dream,
You might find it easier than it might seem.
The year I turned seventy, wrote my first rhyme,
I actually penned it while still sixty-nine.
I’d written some mysteries, stories and such,
But the rhyme and the rhythm I liked very much.
At first, I wrote mostly for children and youth,
While weaving a principle, message, or truth.
It took a few years for the rhymes from within
To make a new pathway so they could begin.
I sat back and listened and let the words flow.
How many more mornings, I really don’t know.
The reason I’m sharing my story with you,
Is to help you find courage to try something new.
Perhaps you’ll discover a talent inside,
Then share it with others and not let it hide.
