Narrative

Never take for granted the product of the mind, 
when sometimes inspiration, 
like gold is hard to find. 
 
When every word you've written, 
from your mind you've had to squeeze, 
and when it's written down it doesn't always please. 
 
Then don't just sit dejected and in such sad despair, 
for somewhere in that foggy mind, 
the words are waiting there. 
 
To flow from pen to paper, 
each line to scan and rhyme. 
 
For my friend this is an art, 
to nurture it takes time. 
 
Now look at L.S.Lowry, 
some said he could not paint. 
 
But his pictures sell for millions, 
the art world think they're quaint. 
 
So if your hard fought masterpiece, 
the literary world doesn't set alight, 
persevere my friend, just persevere. 
 
For you know someday it just might.
