We people are a funny breed So much the same but different too Created by life’s loving seed Which grew to be both me and you Our features they are much the same But minds do differ in their thought So often I think what a shame That love within that heart shows naught The pleasantries some do not share Unless the need for what you own Their eyes avoid as does their care Surely they must live alone! A shame that genes do alter so That love and joy can’t reach above That some do wander more below While never really finding love Yes, people are a funny breed I’ve not the answers that I’d like But one day more will be the need To find out why we’re less alike |

understanding this. I usually suspect shyness. I have learned to send an extra smile to them. I was always the shy one until I learned others are just as shy. A smile or nod breaks the ice sometimes. So many lonley people as you say. It is sad. best to you. I enjoy your writing."late" |

Good to see you here late, there are so many sad people out there, I smile to them all, it is sad though that it does not come naturally to others. Thanks for your reply my friend. Rick |

Some cultures show respect by not looking into the eyes of another; other cultures say that shows a lack of strength. But to smile at all, no matter what return you receive, is the best and easiest gift one can give, daily, hourly...and especially in one's mirror.  Thank you, m'friend! |

Dear Sunshine, we all live our lives as we can, do what we must and choose to, I accept all people as they are but sometimes my expectations are a little higher I think, thank you for your reply my friend, always nice to see you here. Rick |
