How do I send a text using my iPhone5?

I am 85 and new to smartphones. I can compose a text message, but cannot find out how to send it. These seems to be no "Send" button on the screen.

In the Messages App User uploaded file, the send button is small white arrow in a blue or green circle next to the area where you type your message.

Before you start typing it may look like a microphone. Once you start typing it will turn into a an an arrow. Press and quickly release the arrow to send the message.
