A Simple Man

A Simple Man

F J McCarthy on Jul 15, 2009

 

 

I am a simple man.

 

I have traveled near and far.

 

I have what I need and that’s not much.

 

For I am a simple man.

 

When I write a poem it comes from my heart.

 

Don’t check my grammar or tear it apart.

 

The meaning is given in plain sight you see.

 

A simple poet, That’s me.

 

The words that I use they are small.

 

But I understand them all.

 

I write of my life,

 

My kids and my wife.

 

For I am a simple man.
