Is it worth it?

‘One picture is worth a thousand words’, is a quote by Frederick R. Barrand.

A few years ago I wrote a small book of poetry and sold copies for charity. I came across it again recently. This is the first poem that I wrote, it is called  

’Wishing’

I wish I could sing,

Make sounds so pleasing to the crowd.

I wish I could sing,

not just in my head but out aloud.

I wish I could sing,

and be a member of the choir

I wish I could sing,

Reach all the notes, the lower and the higher.

I wish I could sing,

having a voice needing to be heard.

I wish I could sing,

having the gifts of a bird.

Now there’s a thought!

I wish I could fly ….

This adds up to 83 words, not even a tenth of a picture.  And as I cannot either sing or fly I will stick to what I do best. Now what was that???
