Delighted Poem by David Boyce

Delighted

I want people to be delighted
About the things they've done
Because they don't realise what's been achieved
The way others know they can.

You started off with nothing
And began with writing words
You don't know where they came from at first
But you cannot get them curbed.

Throughout your life you'll continue
To write down poetry and rhyme
Until you have to join us
And it becomes your time.

So until that day keep writing down
The thoughts you have in word
Don't matter if it sounds silly
Or even quite absurd.

Many words you'll write for others
But to you they will mean nothing
To those who read them everyday
They will find them very comforting.

So until you get your calling card
You will write poems to share
Because that's part of your life's learning
And to show that you do care.
