Nancy Jones Poet Elegy

Prayer For Bounty

When I'm old and tired
I reckon I'll say and do stuff
in my typically bold way will
inspire people wanna take me down.

I deserve it.
(Deserve is one helluva word, ain't it?)

When I'm old and tired
hope folks will overlook
glaring eccentricities and contradictions

In favor of effort to love.

James Fraser November 27, 2011 at 7:51 AM I think it's good to have a quirky trait in each of us Nancy. It's part of our make up. Sometimes it can lead to love, as another may revel in ones quirkiness. Fine poetry I must say, have a lovely Sunday :)
