The Lucky Ones

Writers write and painters paint To give themselves release. Knitters knit and sculptors sculpt, Allowing them some peace. Singers sing and dancers dance To tap into their talent. Runners run and heroes help And practice being gallant. Bakers bake and swimmers swim And mimes demand attention. Everyone has skills, including Those I didn’t mention. People do the things they do, With varying success, To get them through the day and prove The powers they possess. Some people never have the chance To find their little niche. The lucky ones who’ve found it know That they have struck it rich.

That's an interesting poem. I wonder if unhappiness in some is because they have not found their niche. Well done. Lee

In this world, success is measured in dollars or some other coin of the realm. Good write as usual, Ilene.
