Notes About The Poem

Number 2

Impressive
Vice presidential

Walking on lily pads
Sinking within illusions

Snow drops bloom
Wisdom is waking

Darkness fades
Light pervades

We all seek to be one
Destiny sometimes makes us number two

Quite the topic to contemplate
As I wander off to the loo


Notes
As they say a pence for your thoughts
Amazing how see end up right where they belong!

Thank you for sharing this, I liked how it flowed, and understood your message, that is what a poem is suppose to do, convey a thought you have in a new way with old words! Great work!

Nice poem: But as a Christian I believe it is not our place to judge anyone as Jesus says not to do so. We can always note the right and wrong but we are commanded to pray for people. Leave the judging to the Lord, if that person is right or wrong as an individual. Blessings

Jan, is right.. no matter how kind they are when a chance to succeed and more pay they will only have tunnel vision to succeed no matter who they hurt.I have only found one in my life and she step aside so I could have the job... She was and is an angel..
