My story…
There once was a little girl.
Who played with dollies and loved to twirl.
Until she learned to read and write
Then one day, she picked up pen and paper with all her might
As letters of the alphabetic became her friend her fingers took flight
And wrote down things that made new worlds unfold
For with pen in hand she wrote bold
With each new chapter the stories took hold
With characters, places and spaces
Some new some old
From her mind they shined out like pure gold
So ready to land on paper and be told…
For I am that once little girl
Who loved to twirl, and now I am that writer!
With many, many stories that must be told…
