Fair to middlin' of nowhere

They say an apple doesn't fall far from the tree
when comparing parents and their seed
My tree must have stood on a hill
and a wayward wind blew me free
to roll away down yonder
where the dreamer
became of me
The only one
from my branch
and they still wonder
what to make of me

Maybe they have more to their story than they are saying.  
Could be hidden talent they have suppressed, sometimes gifts skip a generation.
Never the less I am glad you rolled down the hill and the wayward wind took hold of you.
You couldn't be any better...

Enjoyed.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself.

Love is the life of the soul...
It is the harmony of the universe

Well, I think I can say for all of us that it is a good thing that you got blown away.  You sure blow me away a lot.

Fantastic, dear Lori!

To be aware of our uniqueness is ever so important ... and a dreamer's touch is sooooooo precious! Could we be poets if we were not dreamers I wonder?
