It's All About Me

It’s All About Me Truer words were never spoken When people say or do something bad to someone else…. Especially Catie! They diminish themselves as human beings Making Catie shine, through the mire, above the fray Hard work and harder play, make us who we are Our spark of humanity comes from that Not from the gutter or mouths of others Sweet Catie is on all our loving lists at Poetry Soup She is our sister, that is no mystery We share our minds and souls with her together In this mortal battle we call life, we write against the tyranny It is our pleasure to call Catie one of us With thoughts of kindness, we share her feelings Lift her through this darkness and pray that better weather comes If Catie ever visits us, here at the Soup, we promise not to stick gum in her hair We promise to play fair and only tease her on alternating funny Sundays, with loving care Created on 11/09/14 for and in honor of Catie Lindsey It’s All About Me – Poetry Contest

Hi Richard, I am very appreciative. I think we have a great group here at Poetry Soup to enhance and nurture one another's humanity and skill sets in this field. Naturally we wish Catie all the best. I hope you have a great week end. Earl

Hi Jan, Thank you. It was the least I could do. I'm happy you liked it. As for the gum in the hair; well, I don't chew gum anyway so that was an easy promise. As for the other people, I hope they would be mature enough to leave the gum at home or in their mouths where it belongs. I hope you have a pleasant evening. Earl
