Connie Moore Poet Rhyme

A Rare Find

A Rare Find

The pain of loneliness won’t kill me
But I thought it might a time or two
 Because I had thoughts of a better life
It was just something I always knew

But time and pain have cured me
Of wanting that elusive life
I had my time and it was good
The days when I was a wife

Now those days are gone
 I was sorry to see them go
But my life is not so bad now
I have been given time to grow

I know now who I am 
And I don’t lie or pretend
I had my share of that heartache
But even that has found an end

There was a man the other day
Said he was trying to do something on line
He contacted me by mistake
And I wrote and told him it was fine

Don’t worry overly much about it
We all share in the in that little game
Mistakes are so easy to make
And then we exchanged names

He asked me a few questions 
And I answered him in kind
We started a conversation
And I thought ..what a rare find.

Someone who likes to talk
And share what’s on his mind
Not asking for anything else
Yes, my dear, you are a rare find.

Lucilla Carrillo April 27, 2014 at 11:25 PM Hi Connie; What a great poem this is. Sometimes you find something, or someone where you least expected it. I too found a rare find of a different kind. About 10 years ago, bought a painting for $15.00 gave it to my granddaughter 2 weeks ago.She had it checked and it is worth between $ 2.000 and $10.000. I loved your poem... Lucilla
