The world does not need my poem <br />Soon it will not need me- <br />A few people need me, <br />They will need me when I am not here- <br />I will disappoint them by not being here- <br />It is the last thing in the world I want to do <br />To disappoint the few who really matter- <br />But what to do? <br /> <br />I am just another human being <br />Another mortal on this earth <br />It is not given to me, <br />What is not given to anyone else <br />Even though I so much want it.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-world-does-not-need-my-poem/
