I don't know why it is what it is,
But it is and I must accept it.

I've read words of such beauty
That stirred my heart and stung my eyes

That still refuse to cry.
With the slow, sinking sensation

I see that these things,
The sweetness and the poignancy

The tenderness, the empathy,
Are things that are passing me,

Meant for those who are right and true.
They are meant for someone better than I.

With heavy heart and heavy mind,
I am humble before you,

Weaving your beautiful patterns,
You, who are right and true.

Ah, you write my mind.  How often I make the attempt to touch the sky as others have done, and how often I think, well, at least I tried...

and this, this says it for me...thank you!

Ladyhawke - have always liked the name Ladyhawke. And when I read your words, I liked them also. But the words written by all of us here, are not for someone better than you. They are for you.

So please join us, be humble as all are, but join us...

And welcome to this place...

I realize this is a poem, but the message is clear.  I think every one knows the feeling at one time or another.  Take some time out; talk to someone.

Thanks for your gift. I'm sure many of us can relate to it. But it aint the way to go! I agree with Irish Rose. So let me preach, LOL...

O Why? O why? Believe a lie
That someone is better than I?
Cause it just aint true, me or you
We're God's work, we do what we do.

And life is worth living when we think of giving
For each of us has our own gold
Be happy! Be free! Just talk to me
What you know I have not been told.

We're all Kings and Queens in God's Pretty Sight.
But He is the only one Right.

I am looking forward to more writing. Please don't disappoint me.
