             For goodness sake,


don't feel embarrassed or humiliated


by what others think.


             Remember,


The only reason they don't take chances is,


            they don't have


your kind of ~courage~!

Midnitesun,

Though cannot view that image well on my screen, I am assuming it has a happy face. Thanks!

Ethel,

Thanks for your words. I wrote this a very, very long time ago, when making career changes, trying to make ends meet, and find housing, and keep kids going in right direction, and so many other changes I often felt  more critisized than supported. So I wrote myself this poem. And, believed it.


Now, I find with trying to write poetry, in different forms and from different perspectives, some of the lines I view on-line of my new efforts tend to cause me feelings of embarrassment....from an extremely ~uncouth~word/line to other poor choices; but, I seem to need to see it on-line to know it...an ouch I am trying to accept in order to become a better writer..

Seymour, thanks for the hats off.

Scorpio,

Thanks for taking the time to read and library? How nice.

Thanking all of you for your time and thoughts. Hugs, Pat
