"Build a better world", God said.
I asked, “How? Useless &
small I am.
There is nothing I can do."
But God, in all his wisdom
said,
"You can do something.
Just build a better you."
Yancy Dalton grew up on a
cattle ranch riding, roping and branding calves. He
started writing poetry after college, church mission and
marriage. When he first started writing online, the name
"Yancy" was often taken for a girl's name. So,
he made up a pen name to progress as a poet
called "Knight Writer."
Very practical message, succinctly expressed.
