Never Say

Each time I hear that word from you, I cringe.
A stupid person, you shall never be.
Make sure you tell yourself that you can do
Whatever crosses you may have to bear.

Keep saying You are special come each morn.
And hug yourself each night before you sleep.
Remind yourself that only you can act
Upon and be, what you decide to be.

M
hugsss

Thank you Thomas...

ToeR
words in your mouth..hmmm I can just picture that..you opening up your mouth and words falling out of it..I think Kit should do a little figure having words falling out for  you or maybe two figures with yours having the words placed there..

darn..see what snow does to you..it not only causes snow blindness but also makes you brain dead..*s

notice I never said stupid.

Awww! Thank you, Maureen. The only time I start thinking I might be stupid is when I try to write "iambic pentameter". But, I will never give up trying. Who knows, I might finally get it.

Thank you, Maureen, for these good words of advice. they are
very true. So many people give up on something
before they even try to do it.

Iambic is a fretful pattern true;
But ne’er say ne’er is what we need to do.
For if we write with all our heart and soul,
We trust that we shall seek and find our goal

So thank you for your lifting words to us
Who toil and strain with words that make us cuss.
The reasons why we strain to reach our peak
Is only that we need the joy we seek

Ken

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

Toerag..."dear" I wouldn't know about that kind of snow as I never needed anything to  give me a high or dull my senses..I could do always do that by just being myself*s

SmartChick ..you are welcome and I know you will..just keep trying.

Ethel, I even give up once in a while..even if only temporary.
