Chuck Melugin Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

I Need To Be More Thankful Everyday!

Feeling Sorry For Myself

Life threw me a curve last Tuesday
You can't believe the pain I felt
It cut to my very soul
So I found a rabbit hole....
And started feeling sorry for myself!

So in the very early morning
I heard a knock at my heart's door
The Lord said....If you want me to...
I'll be giving you....
Something to be really sorry for!

I said...Lord the strangest thing just happened!
My blues went flying out the door!
And I want you to know....
Just before you go...
I'm not feeling sorry...anymore!

Judy Ball January 26, 2021 at 2:53 AM Excellent Chuck. We have so much to be thankful for that when we start feeling sorry for ourselves we only have to count our blessings to see that the blessings far outweigh the curses. Good Stuff.
