It has three stanzas and its rhyme scheme is as follows: (1) A A B B A (2) A A B with refrain: C (3) A A B B A with concluding refrain C. The refrain must be identical with the beginning of the first line.

AFTER ALL
I am worthy, for after all,
I'm a hero before the fall
Incensed at loves unfair ways
My eyes are damp, I cry always
still I run to loves beckon call
Through the mud I skid and crawl
a chance of love or punching ball
it matters not for still I say
I am worthy...
and there I find within the squall
loves hand reaching, I am enthralled
saying tenderly, it's okay,
tomorrow is another day
these tears will fade, for after all,
I am worthy.
Through the mud I skid and crawl
a chance of love or punching ball
it matters not for still I say
I am worthy...
and there I find within the squall
loves hand reaching, I am enthralled
saying tenderly, it's okay,
tomorrow is another day
these tears will fade, for after all,
I am worthy.
Three in one... WHEW !!!
AND... some prose...
Mother Nature...
You have superpowers beyond belief, you have the power of life itself, not to mention the elements that bend to your touch. I dont ask for any of your superpowers, for a mere human such as myself, the endless worries you must have would be more than I could take.
Instead I would ask for just one moment to be given the power of a dragons flight. To feel the heat of the sun on my back and the cool of the wind on my skin. I would enjoy giving rides to any creature amoungst us, and would prove how wonderful dragons are.
No creature would fear me, for I would show all the love of life forever in that sweet moment... If only in dreams...see you there Mother.
Your Loving Child,
JL

Again, two excellent poems! The first really spoke to me, as I love writing that reaffirms our innate worthiness, in the face of a world which seeks to tear us down. The second poem with the lovely "flight of fantasy" delighted me, who would not like such a "superpower" and how much fun for all it would be! It made me smile just thinking about it!
