John Read Poet Rhyme

Supporting Actor

I'm always the supporting actor
I've never been the star.
It seems I'm always the chauffeur
driving someone else's car.

I've always been a loyal player
never the captain of the team.
It feels as if I'm playing a part
fulfilling someone else's dream.

I've always been a Joker
I'm feel happy playing the clown.
I find a sense of humour
helps make this world go around.

I'm honest and I'm loyal
although it doesn't always pay.
Some see it as a sign of weakness
where they can have their Way.

I do things without question
never asking what its for.
I let others share the plaudits
knowing I've helped is my reward.

After all is said and Done
we should be happy as we are.
For if God made us in his own image
then everyone's a superstar.
