I Try

I try to live my life Not being like all the rest I try to use a little charm That might add a little zest I try to shed love on others So they may know how love feels I try to shower the world in kindness Just to see what it reveals I try to change peoples worlds From the gloom that they all see I try to lighten peoples hearts So their hearts can fly free I try to take away the sadness That we feel in all our lives I try to explain the gift of joy felt When your spirit flys I try to show you all of these things But don't do them to impress I try to do all of these things Because I'm not like all the rest Dan Kearley:11-30-12 :o)

Dan, it is very good 'to try', especially to try to do the things you've described... but most people are just 'trying'... ;-) Terry (Nice poem)

I dont think a guy like you has to try too hard Dan, i think it comes naturally to you as a gift from God, embrace it, run with it, and watch the smiles, great job my friend
