Don't Give Up

I said my better rhyming days are gone
But he urged me to keep on penning on
You may be many years beyond your prime
But you are never too old for to rhyme
And though as a rhymer you may never be a great
A name that others will not celebrate
It matters none if you are not good enough
If that is what you like to do keep penning stuff,
You may be one the critics do ignore
But keep on keeping on and keep on penning more
If something you write helps for to make someone's day
That says more of you than anyone can say
So don't give up although rhyming does not pay
The game of words you should not give away.
