There Are Only A Few

Of successful writers there are only a few And this is not saying anything that is new And so many from writing who never know of wealth and fame Though rather good writers so few know of them by name There are many writers in every town Who from writing will never know of literary renown Like most people in writers for success there is this inborn need But in writing as in most things many do lose out for one to succeed So many writers have their manuscripts rejected by publishers every day For most writers writing is a hobby they work in other jobs for their pay Everyone cannot be a winner seems true for to say This is how it is life works in this way So many good writers who will never make the literary grade Though every writer is needed in the wordsmith trade.
