WE ALL HAVE A STORY (poem)

WE ALL HAVE A STORY We have a story to write Weather written in a book, published in a magazine Printed in hardback. We have a story to write Even if no one else is interested Written in a preferred genre Polished, pressed, presented. We have a story to write Weather it’s truth or fiction Best seller or shelf duster Taking its time to be written. We have a story to write Formed in our own mind In time and with patience Written in our own hand. We have a story to write From the young to the old Told in our Mother tongue Each and every story told We have a story to write Its content we hold dear Critics will take a bite when it’s verdicts deliver. We have a story to write Letting creativity go wild Be its author - be its scribe, our own words preserved. ©️Sarah Joy
