overlooked


DON - overlooked - soon forgot!

Don a quiet lad
Almost invisible
He were not a pushy
Type
Did his bit
He was a good listener
I remember that about
Him
You know - people had
A problem - kind of found
Them self's - well talking
It about it to Don
Often - talking - of somert
Personal
Talking to Don - was easy
No mater what
Most of the time - Don was
Pretty much alone
No one - few at best invited , Don along
Well Don - was not much of a mixer - anyway
Always some how the odd one out - even odder man in!

Then some one said read about a body found floating out to sea off the cliff.

Some said '' Pore bloke '' , another asked: '' I wonder who is ''
'' some bloke called Donald McFee '' , '' Cant say I know the name ''
They all then got back to talking about last nights football match!
None know that '' Don '' , was had been Donald McFee - one of the same man!

Don , was buried - no one to say farewell - Don lay with six others - no names.

Don was overlooked and soon forgotten by most...
It takes one person to know that a candle needs to be lit to reveal the darkness...You lit the candle, Ken.
Your meaningful poetic pieces stimulate thoughtfulness and reflection
Every day the air moves, changing and creating energy, moving and altering the look and feel of our environment. When the wind stops moving. That's when we know the power of the wind.
Thanks for sharing this simple but powerful story. Well told, my mate. :) kathy

He sounds ok to me and not overlooked by you. Enjoyed your line about being an odder man in.
