Tom Wright Poet Rhyme

A Light Bulb Moment

A Light Bulb Moment
Miracle Man
2/9/2022

To special people I’ve bequeathed some treasure,
with no strings attached its theirs to hold.
Thinking it will give them identical pleasure,
not realizing many times their re-gifted or sold.

Just because some object has been a treasure to me,
doesn’t mean that another will view it the same.
My thinking is, theirs, this object will always be,
but out of politeness are some playing a game?

I’ve given “treasures” to others to remember me by
not realizing, that some might sooner forget.
Tom
