One Lucky Guy

One Lucky Guy

A Poem by Bo Lanier

Well they say you're One Lucky Guy

I couldn't write like you if I tried

Keep on, keeping on and never let

That fire die…I just shake my head

And sighed… 'cuz they have no idea

How little I hoped to accomplish

Thus far, I thought in my early

Teens by now I'd be a big time

Rock-n-roll star but funny how time

Flies and you're left feeling all

Washed up inside...still they say

You’re One Lucky Guy to have

Found true love when most

People would kill to be in your

Shoes and what's more you still

Look half your age, man Gods'

Been good to you...well I just

Shake my head and sigh 'cuz

They have no idea the mistakes

I've made and the heartaches

I've endured to get to where I

Am so needless to say I feel a

Little jaded in a way and days

When I feel like saying “the hell

With it all and who really gives

A damn "but people only see

What they want to see and not

The disillusionment or the tears

Behind a veil of lies so I shake

My head and sigh, I just shake

My head and sigh every time

They say you are One Lucky Guy,

You are One Lucky Guy!
