Imagine.

Goldfinch60



As you go through life

Looking at people

What do you imagine

That they imagine?

Do you look at some

And think that nothing

Will come from them?

Do you look at others

With great expectations?

Sometimes you are surprised,

As those of whom you imagine

That nothing will come from,

Will do the things,

That nobody could imagine.

    Good write Gold. That quote sounds like 'Tomorrow is the yesterday you worried about next year' - or summat like that! I always get it wrong of course. lol.

    Truth in poetic words. We know so little of what people are capable and a book should never be judged by its cover. Good advice Andy

        A lesson in the inadvisability of early presumptions, Andy. Hope those needing that advice take it to heart.
