A Self Assessment

I love action,with few words
by example,my  guidance heard
a barnabas,I unfold
encouragement,to be bold;
strong-minded,solid,some say,
maybe somewhat dull and grey!
reliability ,my creed
satisfy first,my family need;
Each day,stepping outside the box
what you see,you see,is only little me

for Tracie's first contest
