Somebody's Nobody

26 April 2005


I’m just a nobody
from New Zealand
Because nobody
knows who I am

I’m just a nobody
from New Zealand
Because of this
I failed the exam

Because if I was somebody
I would still be who I am
Then that somebody
may still fail that vital exam

On a course of life
were volume was
not to drink
Yet an alcohol free
peaceful time to think

To be someone
nobody will forget
Since these words of example
they may not just be to let


"Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny
yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of
all ungodliness, and love God with all your might, mind and
strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace
ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye are
perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the power of God."
Moroni 10: 34 BOOK OF MORMON

Me thinks you are a "thumbody" special ...
after all ... you're a POET ... just doesn't get more special than that~

It is nice to feel special at times, when other times the feeling is as if you don't exist, or never did exist. Most likely that is life summed up. When nobody is a somebody

Thank you for your comments, they are all appreciated
