Being Human

bearing the pain and hopes of others .... that's 
everyone's wish I am sure each day
I bend my head and pray to give thanks 
not just because I can feel emotions and convey 
goodness and forgiveness along lifes way 

human thoughts of pleasure and of pain
enjoying the moment of summers rain 
making wishes and dreams of others come true
artistically painting a portrait of life, of you
naughtily thinking thoughts that lovers do.

that's being human

Seren....I so agree with your take on this. Congratulations on your high placement. You must have entered yours late like I did. Cheers, Connie 7 ; )
