With other thought I pen away Of people I forget each day And though sincere I often find That many things have left my mind It might be phone calls meant to make Or something I forgot to take An errand that I said I’d fetch Excuses that I had to stretch Do I really want to see? Or find the thoughts surrounded me What is it that makes us so? Is it normal? I don’t know To find it’s self you must content Though others so much love have sent That only inner thoughts complete The inner peace you sometimes meet How often do we need our space? To be within a calmer place Away from things we need to do To where emotions clamber to So if we happen to forget We’re human and some flaws are let Tomorrows they will test and try And answers often won’t tell why So may the peace in we surround To give us hope and love abound May others love us and forgive To understand and help us live |

So may the peace in we surround To give us hope and love abound May others love us and forgive To understand and help us live ~*~ Sometimes, it's all about understanding... AND forgiving... you've nailed it, Rick. |

Understanding this, Rick! I enjoy the profundity of your writes. You always shine light on things that go unnoticed in our busy lives. There is depth and wisdom flowing from your heart to ours...  Lest I forget, I shall say to you now: "You are very special, Dear Poet Heart".  Love & Light, Linda  |

I believe forgiveness gives peace, so that we may live and flourish, effecting the lives of so many others in such a positive way... Good Morning Rick, or Good day, as it is more accurately so in your neck of the woods... Thank you for a lovely write. |

I used to beat myself up for not being perfect...had to learn to forgive myself and accept that I'm not perfect and never will be. But I believe I am purposefully made and overwhelmingly loved by God - I can extend mercy to others as well myself for the irritating things that happen. And laugh at myself for being an idiot sometimes - just yesterday in fact  Love to read your words Rick - you speak of many things I think about and struggle with. |

Someone once said "our imperfections make us perfect"... You express well the common goal of striving to be closer to that perfection. Saving this. |
