Imagine being a light bulb before they built the socket.
I’d hate to be an astronaut before they built the rocket.
It’s not so very easy, arriving out of order.
Like entering a foreign country, before you reach the boarder.
I’ve heard it said, “You’re special.” I wonder if that’s so.
Sometimes I’m like that light bulb; I have no place to go.
I feel like that astronaut that’s going on a trip.
Waiting to be launched in space; without a rocket ship.
Flying solo is a thrill; or so I’ve often heard.
To take that flight you’ll need a plane, unless you are a bird.
A yoyo needs a string attached or else it‘s just a wheel.
It always pays to have support; that’s just the way I feel.
So when I’m feeling “Special” and my head begins to grow.
I think about that light bulb that had no place to go.
I know without a rocket ship, I’m stuck here on the ground.
Thank God for friends to lift me up, and always be around.~Jay O.
