Last Row

FredPeyer

She always sat in the last row

Everybody only saw her as

A timid little grey mouse

Never seeing the beauty within

Until one day she stood up

And yelled: I love you all!

  • Fay Slimm.

    Fred this so aptly describes someone I knew - beauty of that sort can only be seen by those who look deeper. Super read.

    • FredPeyer

      Thanks Fay! Unfortunately we rarely take the time to get to know people better and tend to judge them from outward appearances.

    • Michael Edwards

      Bully for her - I'm on her side - well writ Fred.

      • FredPeyer

        Thanks Michael. The writing is not so great, but I do like the subject.

      • Accidental Poet

        Beautiful write Fred. Bet they took notice of her now. ; )

        • FredPeyer

          Thanks AP! I wonder how people would react at a meeting for example, if I suddenly stood up and yelled 'I love you all'. Would they think I am a nut?

          • Accidental Poet

            In this day and age, the majority of people do not look deep enough to the meanings of what people do. So Fred I'm sorry but I'm afraid that yes, they would think you were Looney Farm bound. ; )

            • FredPeyer

              I agree, and I have to say that it is probably not too far from the truth! 🙂
              But then, the whole world seems to be going in that direction.

              • Accidental Poet

                uh, GOING in that direction? How 'bout WACKOS-R-US stores at every corner? ; )

              • orchidee

                A fine write Fred.

                • FredPeyer

                  Thank you orchidee! Is there any hymn that talks about shy people?

                  • orchidee

                    Hi Fred. Well, I can't think of any off-hand. There could be some that talk about confidence, boldness, and phrases like, or similar to, 'Fear not'!

                  • poetboy123

                    A wonderful piece!

                    • FredPeyer

                      Thanks so much for reading and commenting, poetboy!

                    • malubotelho

                      This was unexpected Fred. This is what I call a good heart. No one never saw her and still she loved them. That is rare. Great thoughts of you to write this little piece.

                      • FredPeyer

                        Thank you Malu! If we could see into the hearts of people, I think we would be surprised at how many times we find the opposite of what we expected.

                        • malubotelho

                          Yes, I believe so.

                        • Goldfinch60

                          To know a person you must be able to look inside them. Good meaningful write.

                          • FredPeyer

                            Thank you Goldfinch! So true.
