Ideas and actions
Some good
Some not so good
Often designed
To bring fame
Even if only
Fifteen minutes worth
Fifteen minutes
Or a lifetime
Eventually, the attention
Rings hollow-
I used to think
I’d like to be a rockstar
Wearing rockstar clothes
Playing piano on stage
But now, I’m grateful
That I get to be
A friend
An encourager
Someone who cries
During sad movies
And laughs at
Her husband’s jokes-
Someone who plays piano
Singing a simple song
Smiling as her granddaughter
Stands nearby swaying
Back and forth to the music…

Thank you!😊

I forgot: you do play piano. Haven’t heard anything for a while. I used to want to be a rock star too, like Mick Jagger but I couldn’t hold a note ; eventually I settled —- you’ve inspired me: I feel a poem coming on —

written the rough copy; will give it a few days to settle, then post; yes, how about ‘Forever Young’ by Youth Group— one of my favourites ?
