The invasion Began When he was only three He didn't know what was going on Or what was happening Everyone would start to "oo" And "ahh" At every little thing he did And would discuss the little boy's prospects For his future was to be so bright. Loved and cared for Given everything under the sun This little boy grew up to be A man And quite a respected one. He never forgot the invasion though When he was very young When all he did, All he felt, Was known to everyone... And now this man is living An ideal sort of life With all he wants and needs at his fingertips No need for work or strife Although there is something missing He knows this deep within his heart With his head among the crowd Being alone with so many people, Can tear a man apart. Always someone there To listen To fulfill his every whim But all he wants All he ever wanted Was, A very simple request The invasion to fianly stop And be put to rest!

Very deep emotional piece We all carry these things with us hard to shake they are, yes. Pride of place in the human race goes to one without a trace, of subtlety style ego or grace for this position, I wish to say, i would be proud as i am greater than any other face in the crowd |

Joy, this poem gave me a chill and touched me. It is an extraordinary expression. VERY well written. "We take our souls ghosts with us in the journey called life". take care janet marie ..."when you walked into the room...I saw their faces--- did you know--you made it seem like time was standing still... and I felt---fascination...though I only knew you then--just casually... then you slowly turned and smiled in my direction... and my heart gave me away"....

Makes one wonder about what really matters. What is it we really seek? Must be an inner fulfillment that "thing" just don't satisfy. Nice writing. DH |

I thought I might take a change and write about another person using he or she instead of always about me, using I all the time. It stills holds a strong message though. Thanks for replying. Joy |
