Genes And Traits

Rozina

Some are from parents

Others are not

Some we develop

Some we've already got

 

Those with perfect vision

May still be so blind

Very clever people

Can be really unkind

 

Now if I could be tall

Be fit and so pretty

An A1 parent with

A great personality

 

If I could be brave

And also be lucky

And enter my numbers

And win a huge lottery

 

If I could have these

And do a mix and match

I could evade that Covid

And any oncoming batch?

 

Sigh! We have what we have

Do the best that we can

I'll think of another

Great idea and plan....

    Good words Rozina, we are what we are and all we can do is the best we can with what we have got.

      Yes that is true but still lovely to daydream sometimes of fantastic combinations and permutations!

      After years and years of struggling with such questions, I am now of a mind that Que cera cera..... Your words Do the best that we can sums it up! Good one Rozina....

        Thank you. Although I would still make a wish on a shooting star (not seen one yet!) and every year when blowing candles on my birthday cake (but too many now so can't blow them out in 1 breath!)

        • Lorna

          Bunch the candles closer together - sometimes that works.....

          Would send you my lottery numbers, but they're dire. I think we're all getting covid at some point, having had it myself. Onwards and upwards.

            Sorry I don't have any magic formula to win lotteries nor 'lucky' draws! Thank you for your comments.

            Yes indeed, very well said Roz .. these words deserve to be seen by so many more folk here who without doubt I'm sure would appreciate them and relate to ... six perfectly formed four lined stanzas that both say and ask so very much ...................... Neville

              Thank you.

              That second stanza is something else - I don't want to unpick it... It has a truth there which is best expressed where it is...

            • Rozina

              Yes I have met such people. Thank you for reading. Appreciate your comments.
