I write down my thoughts starting with a first line

I proceed most usually in the style of a rhyme write about nature and those who have passed

I do this on paper to be sure my thoughts will last

They are the thoughts that I am feeling at that moment and at that time

Some are uplifting and spiritual while others carry a dark chime

It has been asked of me by those who have read my thoughts if I am feeling o.k.

Some read into to it that I am crying out for help because on this earth I no longer want to stay

What I write are observations during that time in my life that I record

Whether it be happy, romantic or sad

To not write them down I cannot afford
