~*~

I'd like to introduce myselves,
And share the mes within,
One leads a life of purity
While the other lives in sin.
My name is 'Earth Angel',
I'm the earthy sort you see,
I spout pearls of wisdom,
But they're from God,
And not from me.
I try to walk the Godly talk
By being good all days,
But often I have fallen
In many countless ways.
At times I may be saintly,
Putting all before myself,
But then concerns of my own,
Puts others on the shelf.
When I'm in my devilish mode
And my shining halo slips,
Little horns grow in its place
And my alter ego flips!
My angel self is quite demure,
With gentle, caring ways,
But then the devil in me
Sucks up my sunny rays!
It is a constant battle,
Between the Dark and Light,
I pray that Goodness wins the war,
But it's gonna be some fight!

~*~

EA ...so glad to meet both of you.  I see some resemblance to someone I know, me.

Perhaps we should have a get-acquainted party for ourselves and all our alter egos!---there certainly are enough of us!

~ An integrated self isn't nearly as much fun!

Oh Linda,

Grinning here, you must know how much I like this. An honest accessment of the human mind....Yes, just two or three of us could easily be a party of ten. Love this!

Hugs and love, Pat

(giggles in delight) Oh my gosh, I imagined you rapping when I was reading this or hip-hopping, I really do think you would be great at writing lyrics like that! (kiss on cheek) This is cute, sweet friend, and you will always be our groovy angel, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Linda, I know that ya'll only see the sweet little ole me that's so in love,

but oh my goodness, there's a part of me that I thinks too sassy,
too moody, too a lot of things.....

But both of the me's are kinda fun......

Linda,  Oh girl, how I can relate to this and I'm sure you must have written it for me not yourself!

"My angel self is quite demure,
With gentle, caring ways,
But then the devil in me
Sucks up my sunny rays!
It is a constant battle,
Between the Dark and Light"


Keep fighting and running for the light. It's hard some days. Guess that's why we're called 'humans' .

Hugs, 'M'

But didn't ya know? *G* Those lil horns just hold your halo in place... and if it doesn't slip off, you don't have to waste as much time polishing it... and if you have extra time, you give us such great rhyme! *G* It all works in the greater scheme of things! LOL

Have a great weekend... both of you! LOL

My "imp" alter ego just asked if yours could come out to play! It could be quite interesting watching our naughty inner children at play!

You paint the picture perfect;
of my each and every defect
showing up for all to see
you swear you're in a tussle
That would surly burst a bustle
playing out the string is me!

Wonderful write, EA, as always.  Ken
