“A Fool Such As I ”


 


Some people admire the work of a fool


But the error of the wise makes me smile


Oh! Why was I born with a different tongue?


Can there be anything meaner


Than the judge-mend of a fool


Just leave me to my sorrows


For there are no such thing…


Like better tomorrows


When waves of the battle


Starts moving along like the ocean


There is nothing so painful


When emotions becomes brittle


And the errors of life


Starts to haunt you


And when there are no more friends…


Songs or instruments of joy


How can we expect forgiveness from above?


Some people admire the work of a fool such as I am


And for those fools just like me


I say thank you


For keeping me company


And for warming my heart filled with love


But for now I have nothing more to say


Than “I love You”


Take care

Tinka, an exceptional write, but I wonder about the tongue thing? You mean you don’t have a normal tongue… lol. Only kidding my precious friend. Well-done, and you’re not a fool. However, if you would jump into the filthy water then all bets would be off, and I have to reconsider… lol. Thanks for sharing your work. Take care and be well.

Dear Tinka,

It's a sad occasion when "real fools" believe they are beyond all else, and sweet friend, then I enjoy your "foolish" company and feel quite contented within this place. Chin up :)

Foolishness

Mix a little foolishness with your serious plans: it's lovely to be silly at the right moment.

Horace (65–8 BC), Roman poet, 13 BC.

warm hugs and love
