Writing

Literature has a purpose
For one and for all
To teach, educate
Entertain and enthrall

I like to write
In my own little way
Tell you things I’ve learned
Through life every day

I want to know more
About myself and my friends
So I can be a better man
Make the needs meet their ends

Experience counts
But as long as you learn
So that the next time you
Don’t take that wrong turn

And in documenting me
I’ll hope I’ll recall
The many times I’ve stumbled
And every time I fall

And if my words
Aid those that stop and read
Then each misstep is useful
I can be a friend indeed
