This one was inspired by one Ed Matlack posted a couple days ago. It was titled: DARK WRITE OR WRONG.

He seemed to be really down over medical issues, so I sent him this poem and a personal message in an attempt to encourage him to take the time to put some of his best works into a book.

Self publishing likely won’t make you a lot of money, but it’s a nice way to store all of your works in one place and to leave them for those who will follow. Additionally, holding that first book in you hand for the very first time is an extremely uplifting and rewarding experience. For less than $50.00 you can wrap your hands around the proof copy of your very own book. You can also have it put out in the Kindle version at no additional charge.

 

 
WORDS
 
I’m not a giver of advice,
don’t have much to say,
but I try to look on the brighter side
each and every day.
 
 Time will run its course
fate won’t be deterred,
but each day I write a little more
in an attempt to share my words
 
I want what I have to say
to be worthy of being read.
I want those I leave behind
to remember what was said.
 
My words are not profound
my message, not always clear,
sometimes it’s just a rhyme,
but always, it’s sincere.
 
The quality, (good or bad)
not all are in accord,
still I put them into books,
my way to keep them stored.

Marvelous advice. I don't make any money on my published books, but I do give them away to many animal shelters for their much needed fund raisers. And it always makes me feel good knowing that another abandoned dog or cat got a much needed meal because of my words.

What a loving poem to encourage your friend. Guess what? I was also blessed by your words that were of such a high value. Your words were very inspiring and had the ring of truth about them. A good read!
