Little did I know forty-two years ago <br />when I put pen to paper <br />after getting off a fairground ride <br />at sunset that day. <br />That what I was about to write <br />would be a crowning achievement <br />in my writing life. <br />That what I wrote would be read and used <br />in all the four corners of the world. <br />It would be used to compliment <br />photos, painting, and memorials <br />to those who had passed away. <br />A piece of writing <br />which would evoke so much in many. <br />For everyone who reads it <br />get their own impressions from within it. <br />Little did I know <br />more than any other of my work, <br />it would make my name. <br />Although I have written poems <br />for one reason or another <br />that have become favourites of mine, <br />Just Beyond The Sunset is a dream <br />and beyond that sunset <br />my dreams have come true <br />in a lot more ways than one. <br />For little did I know <br />what I was writing then. <br /> <br />21 April 2008<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/little-did-i-know-4/
