Twinkle

Rich, Famous oh so true they get all the toys and sparkle because of me and you. So we’ll sit at our Screens eating our beans And wonder about their lives and what it all means We’ll imagine they’re happy But life’s not all that it seems We can’t fathom that they’re sad When they’re living their dreams? So I will accept a life simple No caviar from jars Forget the Red Carpet and driving fancy cars No mansion on the hill or big bucks in the bank But lots of good friends and the Good Lord to thank The world is my oyster with a good women to Love All Stars aren’t on the Big Screen They’re in my sky up above When you see my eyes twinkle and the smile on my face Follow my wrinkles There my happy you’ll trace I’m not chasing after glitter Everything I need is here I know what’s important Those things I hold dear Inspired by Nora Gibson’s poem “Graven Images”. She is a very talented poet. Please drop by and comment on her artistry. I’m sure you will appreciate her beautiful poems.

A very good message, Rick. Your first stanza makes me think of the irony ... it's our wallets and attentions that elevate the stars to fortune and fame. But when they finally get to the top, what then? Same joys, same pain.

Yes the simple life is the best life. I agree. Those chasing stardom are too busy to “see”. Very nice thoughts, C.A.

Not only to follow your wrinkles Richard, but the hand of the mind that does dwell so well.

WoW! Richard, She inspired you to pen a well-written write with a great message. It reminds me that the “ grass” isn't always greener on the other side. We must be thankful for the things that really matter in life. Excellent job. Off to read the poem that inspired such a write. Have a great day:-) Alexis
