@1oldbuck Indeed, your rhymes can be a form of journaling! I found the two blank books I filled with poetry over 50 years ago, all done long-hand. Yep, everyone is dated. It was an interesting afternoon, rediscovering them. A favorite teacher in high school, and my dad, both encouraged me in the written description of things. About10 or so years ago I came across an author named Ivan Doig whose turn of the word made me say, "When I grow up, I want to write like him."

Have you thought of sharing your rhymes with your children and family now, before you pass?
