The Story of my life, poetry
Here it is the Story of my life,
Is it worth the stress and strife?
Through all life’s challenges and all its struggles,
I push on through, despite my muddles.
I have two children, who I adore,
They are hard work, they like to explore.
Jumping on the furniture and on their bed,
They seem to forget everything I’ve said.

I like to walk through pretty country,
Ideally with my kids and husband beside me.
Watching their joy, the wind in their hair,
With plenty of time to stop and stare.
I lay here now in bed writing,
Trying to make my words sound exciting.
The story of my life, it’s all about me,
My favourite drink is a mug of tea.

I have a nice home, I love my garden,
Right now, full of weeds, it needs my attention.
My kids love riding circles on their bicycles,
Riding into the fence, my flowers get flattened.

So, what you ask is my inspiration?
My family, my life is all a consideration.
The want, the need, the desire to do better,
As I now here type, letter after letter.
Lying here now, I’m going to finish,
But my need to write does not diminish.
The love, the joy that words can bring,
Can really make my heart want to sing.
