About Me


I know not poetry. 
 
I know not rhythm or rhyme. 
 
I am not skilled in the art of coquetry. 
 
I'm not famous for the running speed of mine. 
 
I am not fast nor am I slow. 
 
I can read a thousand books, yet there is still so much to know. 
 
I can write a pretty good story, but there are those who still surpass mine. 
 
I can draw a beautiful heart, but someone else may have a straighter line. 
 
I am not the best nor the worst. 
 
Still, I shouldn't say such things, of course. 
 
But, when I feel the need to please 
 
I work hard to put others at ease.
