My Story

I sense that there are stories
Bigger and more grand
than I can comprehend
That I'm a part of somehow

But I only see this

Cooking my lunch
Clipping my nails
Thinking of unpaid bills
And unwashed dishes

Feeling smaller still
With no heroic deeds
Just living my life
Utterly normal indeed

Is this my story?

What a blessing we have in PoetrySoup. A place to come to write and read and make new friends along the ink trail. I am wishing you a day full of inspiration. I enjoyed reading your poetry today and hope to read many more written by you in the future Misheel. Love, Carol
