I love to discover, see what I can find,
On the backroads and byways, not on the main path,
And also discover what’s inside my mind,
Beyond just technology, science, or math.
The year I turned seventy I fell in love,
Discovered a passion for writing in rhyme.
The words swirled around me below and above,
They each formed a rhythm one word at a time.
I love to hear words as they dance in my head,
To capture a thought from my heart in my brain.
To try to find words to express what it said,
Then write them all down as they form a refrain.
I pray they’re not babble that none comprehend,
But rather give comfort when shared with a friend.
