It has not been too long ago,
When my talent from God began to show.
I started writing poems day and night,
Revising some until I got them just right.
Before I knew it there were over forty of them,
All with a message straight from him.
I wasn’t quite sure what I was suppose to do,
Where this was leading or where it would take me to.
One day I got this notion that I wanted to share,
All of these beautiful words to make others aware.
The pain, the sorrow, the joy and love that we all feel
So much poetry written about it and it is indeed real.
Okay, so how to do this. Well let me see,
I know let’s build a web site for me.
Yeah, right I had no idea what lay ahead,
When those faithful words I said.
I tried to do it with a program called Front Page,
But before long I felt myself going into a rage.
My goodness what have I gotten myself into,
This is not something I had really thought through.
I know I will find someone to do it for me,
There must be someone willing to do it for a fee.
So, I hurried to my computer to go on the Internet,
And there I met someone I will never forget.
Her name is Designer Lady with a talent so rare,
I don’t feel there are any others who can even compare.
Designer Lady takes your idea, your poem or your notion,
And with her talent she puts everything in motion.
Beautiful pictures and music she puts together for you,
All trying to help to get your message through.
Well, come on now just how hard could it really be.
Give it a try, it is not so easy and you will see.
Pick out music, colors and pictures for your web site,
Html codes you have to use that have to be just right.
Oops, get the artist permission to use their work too,
Designer Lady, please help me what am I suppose to do.
I sent an email saying I think we are at an impasse,
I know I was just scared but how long will it last.
An email from Designer Lady in my mailbox I found,
Trying her very best to calm me down.
Hey, don’t stress we will make it through,
Creating a web site is not something that is easy to do.
I know I must really try more patient to be,
If my dream is to finally become a reality.
God I must thank you once again,
For Designer Lady, my new best friend.
