My Spirit

I cannot show you my spirit, I'm shy and reserved My spirit only comes out when my temper has been aroused Fights with my brothers always brought the spirit out They were often rough, with scrapes and bruises all the way around Every so often husband’s view needs to be opposed Or, if I catch sight of a person getting abused I don't have the sense to keep my nose out what doesn't concern me

I sense a strong spirit full of faith!! I agree, we should never stand for any type of abuse!! I had four other brothers -- lots of spirited debates among us growing up! All the best dear friend. 7

Thank you sweet friend, :~) I did get hurt one time, the man pulled my hair and it still didn't stop me. I guess when you're angry you feel no pain or that is the case with me.
