clumsy in my ways I am I spy grace of certainty druthering I be like her and a whole let less like me. Whoopi said she wore a mop covering her dreaded locks "look at this--my luxery, tresses blonde and not like me." "Chile," her mother said to her-- "get that mop down off yo head." So whoopi was herself instead-- then Barbie wished her skin were less white... and then Mattel took note They added orange pigment to the plastic of my dreams construed. I wish I could be more like you-- in celebration of myself (and yet) somehow less obsessed with me... |

She is that, and you are you... and for both, I am deeply grateful. |

Oh, clapping.....both of you are so real! If poetry is a reflection of the soul...then I see Martie as sky and you as sea...if that makes any sense at all. But both of you, I see as yourselves most of all, no pretenses. That commands a great deal of admiration! ......jo |

God! You're both so beautiful. Mxx The clouds never expect it when it rains, but the sea, changes colour, but the sea, does not change. |

It's easy to feel ..less.. when comparing yourself to Martie. Her truest grace is that she won't let you. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

if a mind wants to, it can be where ever it pleases, but to be like someone else, takes away the very spirit which shines from your entire being...You are you, and she is she both being complimented and embraced by the other...thank God for both of you In sync! Beautiful words of wonder |
