Way To Go--By Patricia Ann Farnsworth-Simpson--Canary Islands

Way To Go

If it was a hunch and you did it then I bet
You are glad you did without regret
You might think it a guess but it feels good
When you follow your instincts like you should.
if you get more than one premonition
Then you are strong on intuition
With a sixth sense and instinct to know
You must let gut feelings dictate the flow
If you cultivate these gifts given to you
And follow your instincts in all you do
Then you'll be a positive person to find
You don't need others to make up your mind.
You choose your own

Way To Go!

Patricia Ann Farnsworth-Simpson is a coal miner’s daughter, the only girl among 6 lads. A young mother to a son, she became a widow before she turned 18.  Patricia, then, married her childhood sweetheart who fathered her lovely son and two wonderful daughters.  Her children encouraged her to pursue her own talents.  After 51 years of marriage, she became a widow again recently.  She fills her time with poetry, helping others whenever she can.

  3. Patricia, I really loved this poem. Indeed to follow ones own instincts is the best way to live. It reminds me of this quote, "To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man." - William Shakespeare
    Thank you for sharing your talent.
    Love, Charlene

  7. Hi Patricia. It is good to see your work here at Whispers again. You write such lovely poetry. Sometimes our "hunches" are what causes us to react to certain things, or even take the initiative. Thanks for sharing this and thank you for all you do for the writing community.
