I just don’t have
what it takes

I cannot dance
heartlessly

I'm not built that
wayward way

quashing love
from blooming

I've always given
my pieces away

to others found
too unworthy

lessons learned
the hard way

repetition
is stupidity

it’s not a girl~
woman thing

it’s just how
God made me

I just don’t have
what it takes

and I like
that about me.


.

don't wait for the storms to end~
learn how to dance in the rain...

~ and don't you change a hair on that pretty, brown-eyed head of yours!
You are tender-hearted, loving ~ and sincere. God knew what He was doing when He created you.

We're works in progress but those of us who learn from our 'stupid' mistakes, are truly the smart ones!

Love to you sweet ss,

Linda

I like that about you too.  Your poetry continually shows me how kind and beautiful you are - inside and out.  I always come back looking for more of you.

Thank you for sharing.

Often what we find hopeless about ourselves are those assets which make us very special to others.  Very nice to make your acquaintance dear Shellie through this open and honest and sweet write

Love ennobles everything, it is the radiance of the dance, so to say. You are so right, dear Shellie. Without it nothing goes and that's it.

Enjoyed your self-portrait, dear transparent babbling brook.

In theory no one is unworthy to receive our love, the gift is precious always, but what must be avoided is the "giving away pieces" ... true love is not fragmented, it adds to itself while it is given.

Love and hugs.

The hardest thing is knowing who you are.
And facing that head on.

Good idea.

I think you speak for a lot of women.  And you know, I prefer it that way.

You're a doll, girly~

You and I, both! As long as we learn from our mistakes, then we're in good shape. Lord knows, I've made plenty of mistakes in my lifetime. And, I am pretty sure that as long as I live, there will be more mistakes to learn from.
