WHO REALLY I AM?

 Who am I, to know me well does it count?
To many it may not,
to others it maybe important
I am a true friend to each and everyone
I was a classroom teacher once upon a time
I became a business woman by chance
But my heart craved to be a writer which I always put in my mind
I examined myself,am I endowed with talents to become a poetic woman?
Genuises are born but writers can be made is a byline
I gathered words,developed a topic and wrote my ideas in rhymes
I listened to the desire of my heart when I was still young
I look around,I look above- many beautiful things made me smile
The white cumulus clouds,the beautiful rainbow and the twinkling stars
All God's pretty things console me when I am sad and down
Oh,are they not enough materials which in writing I can jot down?
God will be glad if His pretty things I will give importance
I got my pen and became a pen pusher for quite a time
I'm grateful that God gave me the skill and the talents to scribble some lines
Practice makes one perfect though blunders and errors are seen by the eyes
But my heart leaps with joy as ideas keep coming as time goes by
I was once a pessimist thinking I am inadequate to reach a dream which is so high
Should I remain like that all in my lifetime?
No,life is full of challenges,a pessimist will be left behind
I developed myself till an optimist I had become
I would be a writer,that was my dream in the past and my desire till now
After years of yearning where I am now?
Here I am with my poems,with my books I write for everyone
So happy I am when I find people smile
Because I also write jokes I can't always be sentimental
Life has many angles a writer must have a wider view to stir the mind of many not only one
Yes, I had been a school teacher and a business woman in the past till now
But writing is my life,taking it away from me I will never allow
Who am I? You know now
A writer of jokes,a sentimental writer is Me,Myself and I..
