"am i happy"

the worms, the worms.

the worms are drowning!

as i ran down the sidewalk, 

shouting the worms are drowning

looking for a bucket to put them in.

trying to save as many as i can.

the rains came forcing them from their dirt.

how many worms will drown today because they

sought safety on the sidewalk with its puddles.

not realizing the safety was on the blades of grass.

i must save the worms before they drown!

only then will i be happy.

I see much pain in your heart. I know how many you save. How much you make them happy people keep on exploiting life you have become half old in saving them. I wish God must not be overburdening you.. let the worms be birds let them fly, I don't think now no worm is drowning . God bless you with love and happiness, just let fate go in their way .. I wish you happy health.

I learnt in one movie hero says there is God's decision too after we perform what we can. So please leave it to fate, it's the final decision.

Thank you, Jessy. Imagine that! Worms with wings.....

This poem gave me the feeling of out of the frying pan into the fire. The blades of grass are preferable to the sidewalk. There is a strong metaphor here Randall.

Thank you, Chris. I wrote something like this when I was sixteen years old, probably before I even knew what a metaphor was. You know worms breathe through their skin, that's why they can drown so easily.

I googled, yes, worms do breathe through their skin. I learned something today, but they don’t drown easy according to Mr Google. Anyone who saves worms has a soft heart. They are so good for the garden:)
