Poem
A Mouse's Mind Frame Everyday I wake, fear grips my existence Even in my slumber, I dream of my demise With each step I take outside There was a worry I would be a predators prize I must provide for those that depend on me My presence, how insignificant it may be While my enemies weight thrice as much as I The only way to survive is my ability to flee A brother of mine, just the other day The piercing eyes of an eagle Swooped down and within those talons Made him the daily prey So I know that my life means very little For on the food chain, I'm at the least I am despised by all living thing And a appetizer for most beast Some may ask, "Why do you even wake up each day, Knowing that you are ill-relevant to most?" As I lay my head down at night I wonder and ask the same to the host of host The answer that I receive is that I'm valuable That at any second, I can change or save another's trajectory I'm not just a discarded page For I am an intricate part of life's story So I wake each day, not for everyone's purpose But for that single one's greater good I smile with my heart and mind, as the day goes on Because my life is about more than me, just as it should be K. Charles Latimer
