I Who Have Nothing

Poem (audio)

Nothing this time on God and his glory,

no epic hero story

nothing about the brilliant sun above

nor ‘bout new found love.

No dainty daffodils in the gardens,

nothing on the cuteness of children’s

darling play and ways,

nothing ‘bout smiling newborns

and fabulous unicorns.

I got nothing

Well, now I suppose this nothing

is actually… something.

Hear this classic sung brilliantly by Shirley Bassey, “I Who Have Nothing”. It did not inspire me to write this poem but this song has been stuck in my head lately.
