I Like To Write

I LIKE TO WRITE

10/15/11

Here I sit at the start of another day

already one post I have sent today.

One more I have composed.

Now, another I write this day.

How is it so?

For it was after midnight when I retired

and yet at 4 am I awake thinking of Fight 232.

My mother survived that harrowing ordeal.

Oldest living survivor she was in an Iowa cornfield.

Of that, I write for two hours or so.

For it will be a part of my new book.

Then I walk and pen another

and now before I go

yet one more I do write.

This creative force has possessed me so.

People ask me how I get anything else done.

It’s through a lack of normal sleep,

I guess.

For it’s gone on for weeks and I do not stop

and dead tired I am not.

May you find something

that drives you so.

Ever onward,

ever upward,

It’s a wonderful ride

You know.

P.S.  A note about the book.

Still working on it am I,

twelve chapters in after 3 ½ years or so.

Found a resource through a church publication

that helps aspiring authors

launch their book, excited about that.

Once the move is over and we’re settled

I plan on really exploring the publishing of it.

Stay tuned.

All My Love Always, Keith
