Forever blessed

Started off working life in factories

Then moved into cleaning scrubbing lavatories,

Worked my way up the management tree

But I am still a long way from where I want to be,

And now in my spare time I dedicate my time to writing poetry,

Focussing on messaging and helping those suffering

Standing up for oppressed people’s rights is so inspiring,

Because I’ve come from the bottom and I am nowhere near the top

But it makes me realise whatever your critics’ may say it’s important not to stop,

But working hard and dedication can help you in everyway

Without getting down that nothing is ever likely to change

My expectations are not that one day my poems will bring me fame,

But I can dream and that’s something no one can take away

So dream your dreams and go for them, for this is the best that it gets.

And don’t worry what others may think, believe you’re forever blessed.
