3DistinctKnocks Posted November 10, 2013 My 12 year old daughter, Peggy was watching me at my forge this morning. She decided to write a poem as a gift to the members of this forum. The Blacksmith by Peggy R. McMillen Surrounded by his tools, the fire leaping to and fro, the blacksmith will weld and forge Everyday, all day long. Cinder and rust will float in the air. The small flies of fire making sure that he will choke. But still the blacksmith will weld and forge Everyday, all day long. In the hot blinding sun, he still continues his labor. The cinders choking him as he forges on the hot metal burns his hands and face. But still the blacksmith will weld and forge Everyday, all day long.
