A long time ago, I planned to be
an artist or celebrity . . .
A song I thought to write one day,
And all the world would homage pay,
I longed to write a famous book,
But what I did was learn to cook.
For life with simple tasks is filled,
And I have done, not what I willed,
Yet when I see boys' hungry eyes,
I'm glad I make good apple pies!
