I am last not least
I wonder
if dreams come true
I hear
the beast in futures peace
I see
life's path that guides us through
I want
to sooth the lame man's cry
Because
I am last not least
~
I pretend
to be the guiding light
I feel
the need to flee
I touch
the pain to feel the bite
I worry
you'll stray from me
I cry
when the Leafs don't win the cup
Like they
I am last not least
~
I understand
I'm boring you some
I say
please tug my leash
I dream
of days many years to come
I try
to place yours above my piece
I hope
to be the last dog hung
Because hey!
I'm last not least
~~~


Had a feeling of 'De Ja Vu' while writing this.
Did I write it or am I recalling something I once read?

Mayhap just the introspection of many things thought over time...and may I say...quality overall?...yes of course I may...

well done Rex!

Kethry ... thankyou again for reading my scribles, you're kindness seems to shine here at passions

Sunshine ... you know ... if we're feeling down, most times all we need is a breath of fresh air and a sprinkle of 'Sunshine'
Thankyou
