It began with a thump in my chest, <br />and a feeling I had thought was the best, <br />but when the Lord gave a test, I escaped <br />to a world where a pad and a pen were my friends, <br />and my heart raced. <br />So I embraced this new world, <br />with a smile, all the while, <br />building hope for a day it'll change, <br />holding out (for the time) through the rain, <br />loving life through the losses and gains, <br />so that one day I might cry out in pain, <br />and explore new worlds again.<br /><br />Enrico Orbita<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/humble-beginnings/
