I somehow became a poet;

I didn't even know it.

Used to be nearly dyslexic;

a rhyming dictionary, quite terrific.

Go ahead schoolmates, give it a try;

never ever turn away with a blind eye.

Don't be like me who waited so long;

who knows, one day you may compose a song.

I used to hate reading, not anymore;

now I can embellish and positively restore.

Just about anything gives me an idea;

seems to me, a lovely panacea.

If you put your mind to it;

surely to follow, you'll own the wit.

Self-confidence goes a long, long way;

stay away from the shades of grey.

We can somehow become a poet;

sometimes we won't even know it.

Just look at life's many stories;

now everything, just hunky-dory.
