    Miss Bessie

    Dedicated to Bessie

     

    I’m thankful for my life

    Amidst all the envy and strife

    I had a strong will to live

    And a lot of wisdom to give

    God created none like me

    He made me special, don’t you agree

    In life you must give the best you’ve got

    Don’t spend time worrying

    About what you’re not

    I raised my child and helped others too

    That’s the way I was taught to do

    Don’t be selfish and keep it all to yourself

    Spread the wisdom and your wealth

    Thank God for making me like I am

    Bessie is my name

    I’m one of God’s lambs

    Hello Jenifer, Thank you for taking the time to comment on this piece. I appreciate your time and comment and I hope that you are continuing to write inspiring and delivering works yourself. I believe in you that you will succeed and get over the tests and trials and enjoy the wonderful days. Dovier8

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
