Honeybee you say you are just one of many - but you help my flowers grow and you always sweeten my day Skylark you say your song is just ordinary - but your melody is my morning sonata it makes my heart sing a song of hope while the sky is still dark Friend you say you are nobody special - but the irony is: that is exactly what makes you special

Hi John, just looking over some of your poems I haven't read yet - this one is so touching, because it sees the beauty in the ordinary - and THAT is special! (soupmail)

Thank you, Michelle. I posit that you've hit upon a good definition of poetry: seeing the beauty in the ordinary.

"you say you are nobody special" An echo, as I have just spoken those words- recently. I say this about myself, often. Your thoughts are beautiful. My heart lingers in what you are saying. Tender sigh. ~ Brandy

John, a meaningful poem, but I like the last stanza. I have the nightingales singing under my bedroom window and I love them in concert.
