I Wrote a Quote (A Poem)

Once upon a time
When life was so sublime
I wrote
A quote
Or two
Like many people do
But instead of keeping it in my head
Or making it into to words that I said
I wrote it on a paper
And as the ink grew fainter
I wrote it in another place
Where I would then begin to race
The time, the clock
When the timer stopped
It all makes sense
Why this all happened, and hence
I will continue to write
And shine on my life, a light
