An old one but one I like.

               Common

They say she has a common way,
With a very common say.
And that she talks a common talk,
With a very common walk.
Her manners are of common lace,
And they say of common grace.
She has a very common smile
And her eyes a common style.
Her laughter sounds a common round,
Just an average common sound.
But when she lays her hand in mine,
All that's common turns divine.

baby dont you work so hard
for this prize you've found,
it will all be gone-when you turn around,
cause nothing lasts forever anyway.

In numbing sleep, no doubt.
And I struggled with the water,
On it's endless route-

Seymour~
I'd say this one is not-so ...
not so common !
It's a jewel.
I like it very much.
