Today I was Brave

Guess what... today I was brave.
And the whole time...

I was quaking in my shoes!


I shared a poem of mine with a lady at the foodbank.
See, we'd just been talking about the writers' conference that I had been too, and she wanted to know why I'd been and if I was writing a book.  

I said "I write poetry".  

The answer was OH?

Tell me something you wrote

Won't you my dear?

I pulled out a quick one

My phone so handy you know?

Opened up the browser and picked

One called Grow.

She said "Oh, I like this, 

Can I see another?

So I bravely, yet quaking within

Pulled out Listen, Listen my Child

She fell in love, reading it again

Saying, send this to me

Here's the email, I want to show this to others.

Share will you please?

My heart about bursting

I did as she asked.

I mentioned I hoped to publish someday

A book with poems and pictures to colour.

I think that's a great idea

Words spoken to my heart.

So perhaps one day

More brave I will be.
