Today someone reached out.
Reached out to say that I have been an inspiration.
That I was the catalyst for them embarking on the journey.
The journey to start writing.

Now he is a better writer than I am.
But there is never a better feeling.
A better feeling than being a inspiration.
I touched someone's life.
Someone I don't know
I now feel useful to humanity Today someone reached out.
Reached out to say that I have been an inspiration.
That I was the catalyst for them embarking on the journey.
The journey to start writing.

Now he is a better writer than I am.
But there is never a better feeling.
A better feeling than being a inspiration.
I touched someone's life.
Someone I don't know
I now feel useful to humanity
