"S" is for.....

Jenny Matlock

SOME people are content to be part of the herd
to be yet another SIMPLE SHEEP
While others prefer to be the leader
and make more noise then tiny peeps.

To be a part of the flow is fine for SOME it SEEMS
But life is for the living, this I wholeheartedly believe.
To rise above the normal black and white SIMPLICITY
To raise my voice so loud that all can hear and plainly see me.

I want the people to know I was here SO long after I am gone
That they all remember my beliefs held SO dear and for SO long
That everyone is equal whether SHEPARD or the SHEEP
and this is our world to SHARE and for everyone to keep.

SO I pray that everybody SHARES in the world as it SLOWLY grows
Where the the future takes us heaven only knows.
I'll live my life as a leader an example to the flock
and never underestimate it but in it take stock

That there are people in the world content to be
yet another SIMPLE SHEEP
and others that are born to lead
and make more noise than just a peep.

  1. baaa baaa. :) great job. I have sheep days and leader days... I think it's good to be able to do both. A good leader also knows when to follow!

  2. I really enjoyed your post today. I find the older I get, the more outspoken I get. I seem to have found my voice the last 10 years or so and I always speak up for what I believe in now, even if it is not popular! Thanks for sharing, Nan

  5. Sometimes it's good to be just the sheep, but never a Simple sheep! depends on where the shepherd is going.

  6. I love this stanza:

    I want the people to know I was here SO long after I am gone
    That they all remember my beliefs held SO dear and for SO long
    That everyone is equal whether SHEPARD or the SHEEP
    and this is our world to SHARE and for everyone to keep.

    Some lead.

    Some follow.

    And some write wonderfully, poignant poetry.

    That would be you!

    Thanks for sharing your work with us.

    A+
