Poem - Ordinary

[Guest guest]

This poem kinda compliments the last post on being ordinary. Hope

you don't mind poems, but since it's on topic here goes.

 

Ordinary

 

Is there anything, extraordinary;

About being ordinary?

 

Would there be anything less;

in looking into needful eyes,

If they belong to, a child?

 

Would there be anything lost;

in holding on tightly, grasping,

the hand, of an elderly friend?

 

Is there anything, less extraordinary;

About being ordinary?

 

Whatever happened to life's, simple pleasures;

 

Lemonade served on a hot summer's day,

A lazy swing, on a wrap-around porch,

The nuzzle of a cuddly, warm puppy,

Gentle wind, blowing through your hair,

Listening to sounds, of children's play,

Singing to a tune, on the radio,

Dreaming of becoming someone; someday...

 

Waking only to realize, these things,

Aren't so ordinary.

Their, rather extraordinary...
