There was a poet on HP Who had alot of ♡ He tried to stay      out of the fights He kept himself apart He had a love of poetry He lived for his art. Talented, he made "the grade" As "minded" poets do But he didn't try      to "people please" And so mean writes      eschewed. When he encountered      "lesser lights" he didn't      make them blue But put ♡s on them as well For their hearts were true. Time went by... how it did fly! As if given wings! He found he had "The Daily" (When there was      such a thing) He tried to READ all poets      but could not, everything... So he decided just to read The small group      within his ring. He would NOT be purchased. He would NOT be sold. He was TRUE to his beliefs Of his Faith quite bold. Not only did he ♡ He gave "thumbs up" as well! He reposted and was good In fact, the man was swell! He had a grateful following But, as fate is wont He couldn't keep up      with the load... Found his health was shot But he tried to be a light He tried to give folks thought. His readership got smaller It seemed like every day. He still tried to be genuine And true in every way But nobody wanted      him no more He began to fade away... Where the      rubber hits the road He began to PRAY. If you don't know      who this is, Replace the "he" with "she" She believes And truly grieves *That poet would be ME.* ♡ Catherine

My health isn't good anymore my friends. I try to keep up, but I just can't. I'll read when I can, and promise to be generous. Please don't be offended if I don't read as much as I used to. Thanks!
