Authorsden is a special place
For those who need to write,
New friends to make,
Like minded folk,
To share with and review;
A compliment here
A suggestion there,
To encourage and uplift,
A place to build up confidence
And by sharing, our lives enrich.

Though styles may differ
And subjects too,
We all have a need to express,
Our points of view,
Our innermost thoughts,
Our feelings and memories too;
From Philosophy to Fantasy,
Or Romantic to Erotic,
From Humour to Inspirational,
Or Nature to Scientific.

Though we may never be published,
Or be a famous celebrity,
We can leave behind a legacy
For those who care that we lived;
Our descendants will have an idea
Of the kind of people we were,
How we lived and loved,
What we cared about,
and how our thoughts
evolved in our heads.
