Why am I me?

I cannot be what I may,
Held fast by the strands of my DNA.
Is it to be my plight,
To be a board upon which others write?
Or am I what I am,
Because I alone made the man?
Perhaps I am all of these,
Nature ,nuture and Nictzche!

Arthur

(smiles) You are YOU, and that is all that matters! (big hugggsssssss) I think we are all a little bit of something but the most important thing is to accept what you are, God Bless You, you have my vote, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Michael, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Dear Arthur, you are a king! Do not let others write you---YOU write your own history---and be proud of it!

Love & Light,

It is most important to always be yourself. And no one can write you, better than you.

loved the playful 'nature' of this
