(for dgv3..my brother..)

always you lend me such confidence
believing in what i am
what i can be
what i can do on my own
sometimes i wonder
if you realize the person in question--
its me
its just me
its still me

always late for each new adventure
watching and waiting to spread my wings
rarely the flitting, independent one
yet when i embrace the thought
of an old idea
that had floated aimlessly
within my head
you tell me i can, even though
it me
its just me
its still me

and just when i think you may be right
just when i believe in me too
she sharply pulls the trigger
with her cold, cold finger
and i fall
into my dead, stagnant world again
wallowing in confusion's tears
looking up with uncertain eyes
because
its me
its just me
its still me

and i ask you...
if i ask you
again
do you think you can
help me out of this pit...
do you think you can
believe in me again?
its me
its just me
its still me....

Gale - How lucky you are to have a brother like this! It's always good to have someone who loves you, just you, no matter what. And you know what? I think he's pretty lucky to have you, too. hugs

To love another person is to see the face of God.

Dee dear heart, utterly truly fabulous love, have I told you lately how magical your writing is? No I don't think I have, but it is as always outstanding. (Move over Michaelangelo there's a new talent in town and she does with words like you did to ceilings) Absolutely fantastic
I love it of course
Take care love as always

I don't know whom 'she' is, but it sounds like the tape in my head that keeps trying to thwart my confidence in myself and all too often is ahead in the game. I felt like I could really relate to this, yet it's not just the remarks of one individual that lifts me, temporarily, until I get a hold on my head again.

Well done!!!!

dg, it is you ... don't listen to those NAY SAYERS, just use them as a reminder that you can do whatever you put your mind to. Like writing this special poem.

Hugs...
