Enough of Me

When I begin to look at life As nothing but an endless strife When the power of faith and hope Fail to help me strive and cope When I lay down my dreams to rest And so give up their mighty quest When love's warm embers cease to burn And make my heart an icy urn When from the grace of God I flee... Then life has had enough of me.

I love the wonderful message in this poem Sandra. So many keep throwing pity parties for themselves, instead of trying to grow and learn from their harsh experiences. This poem says it all and is excellent! It deserves the top spot. Congratulations Sandra!
