life can be so much
picking and scratching
trying to remove
its imperfections
or to eke out
a few blessings

when one is trying it
all alone

a mentor
a faith-builder
that's what's needed

an even then
it is oh, so easy
to forget to reach
or to wait

and stop scratching
and picking so much

August 4, 2003

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

But yet we just keep on. Just human I think to keep looking for that place we look for and not always knowing just what that is...we just know it's out there.

Oh, dear! I wasn't scratching and picking until I read your poem!*@~+! lol

Seriously speaking, there is a lot of merit to what you wrote.

...there now, I read your words again and the itching has stopped! I'm all better--and I'm counting my blessings!

P.S.
Will you be my mentor?
