maybe it was me!

Norma Suddard 1940 (Canada)

Lyric
Maybe....It Was Me!

When I am but a speck of dust
blowing in the wind
a grit of sand---in someone's eye
or- a knee--that's skinned;
Will they take the time
to think of it as me?
or just cast it from their body
glad that it is ...free?
Will they say a silent prayer
or----will they simply see
----only an irritating matter?
BUT....just maybe ....it was me!

About this poem

It was just an idea that popped into my head. No idea where these come from. Great imagination.

Norma Suddard

Previously wrote tons of poems. This is only one of so many poems that I couldn't stop writing. I would just imagine in my mind about something or see a piece of broken shard and out came a poem. I have so many, many poems and stories in my books --several binders of poetry, stories and thoughts. I have over 2 large binders of poetry and more than 8 binders on stories I have written. I just see something or think about something and out comes a poem or story. I have also done Ancestry since 2004. My binders take up hugh shelves on both stories and poems. I am in about 10 books of poetry alone never mind the stories. I love to write. Most of my poems are rhymes but there are others that tell a story. Norma J. Suddard more…
