The Writer In You

 

The Writer In You

 

The pages of life scream for stories to tell

Whenever it's told, will never grow old

Each experience unique, lived out so well

Readers will know, with pages in hands, they gently hold

 

What will the world see as they eagerly read? 

The saga of your life, not known by a few

Will anything there, help meet their need?

Now told to a world's audience, all pleasantly true 

 

Your story may not achieve worldly fame

Many a reader may now know your name

Still go ahead and tell it, just the same

In stories there written, and how they became

 

Many around you may find peace of mind

A life well lived, amidst days and nights 

Stories you tell, may be one of a kind

Hidden in darkness, even paraded in lights

 

The riches of the world, fall far short of these

Hidden gems will put, questioning minds at ease

Your weaknesses, strengths, failings, and successes 

In choices you made, in all too familiar places

 

What you do, though you may never knew

The impact of your life, on just not a few

Will you be remembered for a thing or two?

The writer you never knew, residing in you.
