Just a Simple Man , That Is Me

Just A Simple Man , That Is Me Just a simple man , that is me all I want in my life is for people to just let me be Make no claim to bright fame no hero do I declare a simple man is my name Have no riches , no shining gold just honor in my pockets hopes to live until I grow old No papers citing my glory or deeds just living my very simple life planting loving family seeds Sunday finds me down on my knees no hangover from late night partying instead prayers for help in my pleas Lord sends answers almost every day not with emails sent on my computer just love and blessings sent my way I asked that simple life be my reward no massive wealth have I sought no million dollar limit on my card Parents taught me right from wrong how to fall down on bended knee admit my weakness and sins all along Just a simple man , that is me all I want in my life is for people to just let me be LYNYRD SKYNYRD .... "Simple Man" Kelly Deschler Contest Name, I Love Rock N' Roll

My dear poet extraordinaire, I'm glad I came across this one which is not only a great tribute to the Lynyrd Skynrd's song, but also a testament to the great human being that you are! Robert you are always a winner in my books and more than deserving of a "7." Pandita

I applaud your choice of song and topic, Robert. This poem shows who you truly are...living a good simple life where family is loved and respected. Frills are not what maketh a man; it's honesty and the capacity to be humble. Well done! // paul

I once had both arrogance and audacity of youth that led me far astray. Found the light and never have strayed from it now. A simple man suits me just fine and hope to live out my days as one. Family means everything to me.....
