I AM

I am simple and gentle
I wonder if the world will ever find peace
I hear the flutter of angel wings
I see the shores of forever more
I want truth and honesty
I am simple and gentle

I pretend that the sun is always shining
I feel the dark of night
I touch stars hanging in the sky
I worry if I will raise my child right
I cry when disapointed
I am simple and gentle

I understand that life is a journey
I say to enjoy life, it's not a dress rehearsal
I dream about tomorrow
I try to give love unconditionally
I hope the world finds a way to somehow co-exist in peace
I am simple and gentle

{thank you Ringo, for this challenge.}




wait a minute,
nah, still nothing....
my give a DAMN is busted.  Jodee

Yes, thank you, Ringo, for allowing our
Gentle Spirit to examine herself again...
for allowing us to see how she's grown...

I worry if I will raise my child right

Every parent's worry. You have met this challenge well, and made it very enjoyable for all of us to read.
Great Job.
