A writing prompt from Carry on Tuesday. The first few words taken from a poem called In the Park by John Koethe:
This is the life I wanted, and I could never see
~ What I Want ~
My want I’d fallen into,
Then met somebody new,
And felt my want give in to
My growing need in you.
This is an old story -
We want, but what we get
Is what we need…I’m sorry,
But mine’s not over yet:
The best part is about
What happened to my need,
Which soon without a doubt
Became my want indeed.
This is the life I wanted,
Although could never see,
I left the want that daunted,
I found true want in thee!
Live for the Love of it,
The Happy Amateur
Wisdom woven beautifully into a poem. Wonderful!
