Of fancy words
I haven't a clue.
But the things I write
are usually true.
I write about family
and I write about friends.
I write down thoughts
that the good Lord sends.
I write about the present
I write about the past.
I write quickly sometimes
because the thought won't last.
I write about the living
I write about the dead.
I write about things
I've heard and read.
I write about people
and the things they do.
Maybe someday
I'll write about you.
