Human Nature (...I suppose) I've handled my affairs with kitchen mitts been burned by wiping tears and picking up hot objects with them I've said goodbyes when hello's were in order or at least:"I am sorry for being such a fool" I've whistled with the wind cursed at feasts placed at my feet starved when I was well fed I've offered help when the simple rule: Give to others when you yourself would ask for help and have been chastised for not giving enough I've made my share of mistakes but stayed on the bronco longer than most But when your eyes evaluate me with devil-squints you won't remember the 1000's of good things I have done well but will choose to remember the three that I did not [This message has been edited by ShadowRider (03-21-2002 11:46 PM).] |

Not me~~~ I will remember both!!  I've made my share of mistakes but stayed on the bronco longer than most! I like the double meaning, there is certainly something to be said for that. Then again you be the Shadowrider!! |

Jeff darling boy you are a poet extrdinaire, your writing simply awes me with it’s skill and depth. I’m not a writer, I have little skill and even less ability, but I do get to read the best poets there are here. And you are among them darling boy. And if it needed proving you have written an absolutely beautiful example yet again. you won't remember the 1000's of good things I have done well but will choose to remember the three that I did not this really is such astounding writing, very well done   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

 BRAVO!!! Yes, yes, we will always meet those that will dislike what we feel and not allow them to help them, but as long as we trust and believe in ourselves and always fight to stay aboard the bronco, we are all bound to find greener pastures of hope! (big hugggssssss) This is marvelous, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jeff, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

I've whistled with the wind cursed at feasts placed at my feet starved when I was well fed I really enjoyed this feast of a poem, Jeff...and I'm really glad that you're staying on top of that bronco and not on top of the bull!  copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |

Yes, this human nature. But for too many, all they want to see is the bad. Good attitude and good poem. Enjoyed this. [This message has been edited by mirror man (03-23-2002 03:52 PM).] |

Jeff hi there, big hug, this is a superb piece of writing I love the way this is written. You’ve put it right this is human nature. And if there were more around like you the world would be a lot nicer place. Beautiful writing my friend beautiful  Love and warm stuff As always Krissy  And while thy willing soul transpiers at every pore with instant fires Andrew Marvell 1621-1678 [This message has been edited by Krissy (03-23-2002 04:09 PM).] |

I was sooooo caught up in the Basketball championship i neglected these responses, and that's unforgiveable. I did want to say a sincere thank you for you wonderful people taking time, feeling the moment with me. This poem was all about the wrong way to be, in my humble opinion. While it mainly applied to those i work with, it also was just a word of advice to those who criticize others, without a mirror handy. *s* In no way, was it intended to reflect anyone i actually know. shooot...no way! Just a statement of human nature....ugly as it can be at times. Thankx Y'all! Sincerely! Jeff |
