Just a lament

Seldom Does A Day Go By

 

Seldom does a day go by

That I feel the same

Often I have to sigh

Knowing I have no fame.

 

I wanted to achieve so much

To make my life worthwhile

Alas fame so hard to touch

You just hide and smile.

 

Some seem to move with ease

In limelight so bright

Most driven to their knees

Life being such a fight.

 

What’s the secret is all I ask

To be adored by so many.

Why is it such a task

So few admirers hardly any.

 

Some days I think

I’m on my way

Then it seems in just a blink

Success just seems to go away.

 

Seldom does a day go by

That I do the same

All I do is try and try

What a silly game.

 

Luke

Hi Larry
Pick your self up by the shoe laces, you do have the touch that I like so much in rhyming. Love yourself and the world will love you. Keep it up. Go to the ocean or the forest and write like taking a snap shot of
what enlightens you. The quietness of the space will put mucical words
in your head. Keep it up Philgram Darryl Ehlers

fame does not make one's life matter--the content of his character does!!

Future: The Spiritual Story of Humanity by Glenn Martin

Histories of the world are generally written to either celebrate technology and science, or to herald doom. My book examines the path of the spirit in the onward rush.
