ANNIE'S SONG
by Paul Curtis You were so self conscious Yet you never saw the beauty in yourself The beautiful brunette hair That framed your lovely face Which you thought lank and lifeless Your fabulous legs that so often were hidden away Which you thought were unsightly and fat Your intoxicating laugh That you heard as a cackle The tiny scar on your cheek, That went red when you drank too much We could only see it if you pointed it out You always thought yourself ordinary Nothing could have been further from the truth You were beauty personified And my biggest regret Is that I missed my chance I dithered and dawdled And I lost you to another I am a fifty something family man with a passion for writing and I draw inspiration from those around me. paul.curtis1956 @ btinternet.com http://www.dreamagic.com/poetry/poetry.html http://www.peculiar-poetry.com/ Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
