I'm Getting What I Want


I’m Getting What I Want
© 2018 by P Michael Biggs



I’m getting what I wanted from life.

To borrow from Raymond Carver,
I can call myself beloved.
I can feel this love.

CB for one, my step-kids
and grandkids, for others.
My siblings, some of my readers.

What a moment.
To bask in the love and esteem
that others cast your way.

What a rare and lovely thing to know.


Originals by P Michael Biggs

This verse is based on Raymond Carver’s
Late Fragment
Except for line 3, the rest is original.
