Poet and Didn't Know It

I think it's normal for people to grow nostalgic every now and then... and it seems to be my turn!
Ever since I was a child, I've enjoyed writing down my thoughts. Usually this results in poetry, but sometimes I just write down a few sentences that sum up my thoughts. Lately, I've been looking back through old journals and rediscovering poems I've written through the decades. 

I got in the habit of dating my poems as far back as my 20s. I recently rediscovered poems that I wrote 40 years ago, in 1984. 

So I have decided to compile my poems, decades old and written merely days ago, into a book of poetry. Whether I just print a few for my friends and family or choose to self publish them, it will be rewarding to see the poems all in one place.

I suppose now I should share one of my poems...

The thoughts of you are forever more
The days move on as they did before
My love will keep me near to you
Even when the sky is blue
Or rainy and dreary with heavy dew
My thoughts are found to wander
As the days move on, I ponder
About the dreams and thoughts of you.
