Once I was ordinary, But that was before, before God breathed Life into my soul and I was born into greatness ... I just didn't know it then.
And so I wasted all of these years thinking I was nothing special - a commoner among royalty, used to a life of servitude; a flea on a purebred's ass, scratching out a comfortable life; a feather floating on the ocean, unwilling to make waves.
Now that I am old and dying, I regret not doing enough to to make life worth remembering; I will die just like I lived: quietly and all alone ...
A wonderful heartfelt write
But I Do know And hope you ain't
leaveing us just yet
You have too much poetry within you
Still
It will take a life time
to allow it all to spill
Onto the parchment
that awaits all your wisdom.
This is beautiful, Karla and written with the words of the sage poet that you are. We all have the power to feel as big or as small as we deem our self to be. Excellent poem!
Take care,
Sherry
i believe everyone experiences those moments in their life...this poem is a beautiful expression of it..but i wouldn't want to live it very often...nothing wrong with being ordinary, only the thought that it is not enough...
"A flea on a purebred's ass." As Jack Benny use to say, "I'm thinking. I'm thinking!" - and when I finish thinking, Karla, the verdict will be, "You're a crown on the King's brain!" This one is truly a good'un! You do what I wish I could make myself do - and I continue to take essons from you. - B ill
Karla honey if you're ordinary then I'll have to go back to school to learn what the word means. This is top-drawer (and deep down you know it;-) Fine writing!
A poignant story about letting go of a narcissist in your life. Have you ever been attacked FULL force by a narcissist? It's the closest thing to being stabbed over and over in the back.
How'd I MISS this one?? Oh, my God, I am slacking off! SHAME! LOL
Nothing ordinary about this write, this write is EXTRAordinary! BRAVA!!
(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :D *blushing* LOL
But I Do know And hope you ain't
leaveing us just yet
You have too much poetry within you
Still
It will take a life time
to allow it all to spill
Onto the parchment
that awaits all your wisdom.
William .....Peace & Love
You've overlooked one tiny thing from your final description: the word "extra" in front of it....
Nicely written...
