Confidence

Confidence walks ahead of me
Sixteen steps or more, people feel her coming.
They clear out of our way. She laughs.
Clearing my path. My eyes are bright with happiness.

I recently lost a cousin who seeped confidence from every pore of her body. It was nice of you to write a poem about her.

I wish I had known her. I am sure she was stupendously wonderful!

Thank you Kim. I was not assertive or confident for a long time, so when I "understood" how important it was, wow. Look out. Research has proven that students do much better test score wise when they think their teacher is confident. (I became confident for my children when I was 21.5 because I had two of them, and they were girls, and I saw what society would do).

As I read you Caren I get the picture of you as having a mind that is so much yours. I find that people don't really want to get to know me, cause they think of me as weird, But when They get to know I get them smiling all the while for I love laughter As I think you do too. I reckon you would be a great friend to great people. Have a beautiful day, my friend.....Peter

The children in my school always mind me, and I mean all but one. However, that one child minds no one. Not even her mother, so I am so honored that the rest of them "get me". They are always saying "You are funny". I think it is because I encourage them to be their best, and I build them up,and they think that is unusual.
