Dear precious readers, <br />Just a little of your time, <br />I’ll try to speak about myself, <br />And try to make it rhyme. <br /> <br />I was born in a small little town, <br />About fifty six years ago, <br />A small town indeed it was, <br />I’m from Portsmouth O-HI-O. <br /> <br />Raised in Columbus, <br />From the time I was two, <br />Where I was educated to some degree, <br />Where I was nurtured and I grew. <br /> <br />Off to the military for eight years of my life, <br />Returned to Columbus, took Beverly to wife, <br />Four children later, they’ve all came of age, <br />Thus a new chapter in my life, thus a new page. <br /> <br />Met Jesus in a church one night, <br />My heart never more to be the same, <br />Walked into His Heavenly Light, <br />Came out with another name. <br /> <br />Done open heart surgery in a cloud, <br />Removed this heart of stone, <br />Put one in of love and joy, <br />No more to walk alone. <br /> <br />To share with all the people, <br />Who will lend a listening ear, <br />For all the poems in my heart, <br />To those who care to hear. <br /> <br />The poems and music that I write, <br />Are not for me, and me alone, <br />But to ressonate to everyone, <br />A lovely musical tone. <br /> <br />And may God always bless you. <br /> <br /> <br />Author, Franklin Spriggs <br />January 24,2008<br /><br />Franklin Spriggs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-poets-biography/
