The Life

Sun, 02/02/2020 - 06:48 -- BETTYA7

After a night of good, sweet dreams

I woke up to see the sunlight beams

Running down the stairs of my big mansion

I went out the door to feed my Dalmatian

I chose a long dress from my huge wardrobe

I hang a gold earring on my dangly earlobe

Going out the door to my latest car

I set of to work looking like a star

Then,

A man came towards my car window

Begging in his knee placed down low

Miserly and full of pride

I could not give away a penny or a dime

I drove past the man to run from my fear

My fear of giving something I called dear

I got back home from a long day’s work

Tired from dealing with a stubborn clerk

But then,

My eyes could not shut to rest a bit

On a smooth big mattress and cotton quilt

Then I thought to myself soaked in guilt

I could have been there, in place of the man

Had I not been welcome in my guardian’s caravan

My dreams were replaced with mere nightmares

Dark, wet forests and angry bears

 Finally,

I promised myself to have a kind heart

To have sympathy for God’s piece of art

I went back to the place I had seen the man

To bring him relief from the heat of the sun

To ask him to forgive me if he really can

Gaining his mercy honest and sincere

I vowed to be a lifetime volunteer.
