its been a while poets!! here's newest from over here in scotland!

My poems may not be classics;
They may never make the grade
That separates the amateurs
From masters of their trade.

They may never reach anthologies
Or even magazines,
Or ever be considered masterful,
By any means.

They may go through Time unnoticed
But, one thing I promise you,
Is, whatever I may offer
Is the best that I can do.

A poem has integrity.
It puts us on display.
A testament of our beliefs
Is there in what we say.

Sincerity cannot be faked;
Pride has no substitute.
If we don't give it our best shot,
Why take the time to shoot?

Let's help enrich each other
And this world in which we live.
In poetry, and friendship, give
The best that you can give.

This is pure perfection.  It is very good to read you again and with such a great offering here!

I really want to care,
I want to feel something,
