Its All About Me And

It's all about me,
And my attitude towards others.
It's all about me,
And my respect for Mothers.

It's all about me,
And how many servants I need.
It's all about me,
And any signs of greed.

It's all about me,
And what makes me laugh,
It's all about me,
And if I treat others rough.

It's all about me,
And how often I tell others what to do.
It's all about me,
And how I treat friends who turn up out of the blue.

It's all about me,
And how often I look up at the sky.
It's all about me,
And how hard I am prepared to try.

Thanks Darlene . I could have added its all about my sense of wonder or lack of it. Just back from weeks holiday in Christchurch and surrounds to visit family and friends. My Niece lent me her car and their house was base camp so saved money. Tomatoes are cheap over hereat moment. Take care and keep posting David in NZ
