The Poetry Connection- guest Melinda Worland

could you imagine that after all this time
I made a living out of writing rhyme
my stories and filled with adventure and play
I really do enjoy things working out that way.
I started my life being the only girl
brothers galore I danced and whirled
I found delight in telling stories all the time
and enjoyed drawing pictures that went with the rhymes
I lived life like most with ups and downs
was blessed with children all around
been abused, and loved and back on my feet
really I must say life is pretty neet!
I've battled abuse, and separation
loss and gain.
fought cancer and won! yes I still remain
have grandchildren to nurture and love
now there are 8, all blessed from above.
I write and illustrate stories that guide and amuse
sharing dreams and illustion when ever you choose
For the past 30 years I have been married to a wonderful man
We think it was all worked out in one of Gods plans
I intend to write till the end of my days
so many stories, so many places to play...
