Poetry in My Life 
Poetry to me is like an obsession 
I write almost every day 
There's nothing like a writing session 
An upbeat verse to brighten someone's day 
I plan to write 'til I can't any more 
Until I am out of poems or my wrist gets too sore 
I hope this doesn't happen while I'm still living 
For when I'm alive I'd like to be giving 
Joy and happiness through my poetry 
It's the one thing that keeps me free.
