I Stand Before You Naked By Richard Maxfield 2-10-2000 I stand before you naked Striped of all pride The best I have to offer you Is what I am inside Just a man As God created me to be An imperfect human I am what you see I make mistakes Each and every day I strive to learn Do better in every way I can tell you something About what makes me tick The simple things in life For me do the trick God, family and friends Is where my heart is at As long as I have these things On which to hang my hat Morals, love and kindness Are traits in which I believe I work each day to my best Until these things I achieve Loyalty, forgiveness and honesty Are ways in which I live They are the best presents Any one can give When I am gone I hope each one can say There was a man Who lived his best each day Copyright # RM99R4 |

Shame on you. You will do or say anything just so you can take off your clothes. LOL I hope each one can say There was a man Who lived his best each day" No greater honor can be given than to have this said when your life is complete. |

Sounds as though you're a very well balanced man Richard. Wonderful poem, and may you live life at it's fullest! ~Sheri "The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those who got there first" |

Richard love, this is soooooooo good, it's truly astounding. Absolutely superb, and don't you know that is all any of us want someone willing to be a naked and unashamed man. Really wonderful love, and you know this is in my library don't you love? Take care Mushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Yes, it would be terrifying to stand before someone naked. In doing that we reveal everything. Sometimes our words do that and yours are clothed in fine linen.< !signature--> "Every man dies.
