I’ve never been a cheerleader, <br />Or a beauty queen. <br />Still, I’m a child of the king. <br /> <br />I’ve never pulled up in a stretch limousine. <br />Still, I’m a child of the king. <br /> <br />I’ve never been asked <br />To sit on the front row <br />Or been catered to <br />because of a title that I hold. <br />Still, I’m a child of the king. <br /> <br />I’ve never been bejeweled <br />With a lot of bling bling <br />Or shopped at Saks Fifth Avenue <br />For the finest of things. <br />Still, I’m a child of the king. <br /> <br />I’ve never gotten a Ph.D. <br />Or sailed on a yacht on the open blue sea. <br />Still, I’m a child of the king. <br /> <br />I’ve never wrote a check <br />For a million dollars spent <br />Or gotten an invitation <br />To meet the President. <br />Still, I’m a child of the king. <br /> <br />I’ve never lived in a house; <br />That has a spiral staircase <br />Or worn a dress with a gold trim lace. <br />Still, I’m a child of the king. <br /> <br />I’ve never traveled the world <br />In my own private jet <br />Or had my meals brought to me; <br />By a butler name Lafayette <br /> <br />Still, I’m a child of the king. <br /> <br />I’ve never owned cattle <br />On a hundred acre land. <br />Or walked into a room <br /> And all had to stand. <br />Still, I’m a child of the king. <br /> And still; <br />I’m a child of the king! <br /> <br />Copyright©2010 by-Phyllis Strong <br /> <br />(...having nothing, and yet possessing everything.2Cor.6: 10)<br /><br />Phyllis Strong<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/child-of-the-king/
