Dear Dr Freud

Dear Dr. Freud, what can I truly say?
You know my ego does get in the way
a heavy block of much love for the self
freezing up the chance for someone else.

I know that deep down in me is an Id
that’s stored away and properly is hid.
Trespassing not within forbidden zones
I dare to breech my bottom all alone.

I must admit I’m satisfied with me
a total, inner, self-complacency
and even at my age I still adore
the image in the mirror that’s before.

I live my life in quest of Godly good
treating others as I know I should.
For we get in return what we send out.
Karmic rhythms often turnabout.

Dear Dr. Freud, I can truly say,
I am in grateful reverence each day,
for all that keeps me going and is true
as daily, loving grace of God imbues.

This is a wonderful write in every way, Janis, and I also loved the post script, (though I judged it on the poem alone) ... so expertly-penned and thoughtfully creative! Thank you for entering my contest! :-)
