Danielle White Poet Light Verse

Things'Ll Be Different

Dear God:

            In my next life I want a mother who
            loves me like she should,
            and a father who is sober,
            is that portion understood?

            And please give me a brother who
            treats me with humanity,
            and whose talents do not teeter
            on the sharp edge of insanity.

            Lord, next time, make me beautiful,
            with skin as smooth as cream,
            and eyes the hue of twilight
            and the riches of a queen.

            And, God, grant me a singing voice
            so I can rock on stage,
            and let me meet my soul mate, Lord,
            before I reach old age!

            I say, the heck with Karma,
            give me one life of pure bliss,
            where troubles never find me
            and nothing goes amiss.

            Things'll be different, next time...

Vince Suzadail Jr. November 25, 2008 at 5:45 PM If nothing ever went amiss, we'd be bored out of our freakin' minds. I like walking on the edge. It helps keep the heart beating. There is an old saying, be careful what you wish for, you might get it. Don't forget the grass is always greener over the septic tank (Carol Burnette). Have a great day. Vince
