Me, Myself and I

Me, what an overused word that has come to be Followed closely by the word I Me and I, Why? What has happened to us all It is a disgrace How would I survive And stay alive If there was no us There is strength in numbers, I, the all-important me, would blunder, And not survive alone, Left on my own. Why? We need each other to care and share, And think more of others, that bear The brunt of life woes. And not to dismiss them, saying, "That's how life goes." We cannot go forward on our own, The life we have is not ours alone, It affects other people every day, Whether they are at work or play, So let us all start to try, To teach each other the reason. Why.

A wonderful write. There will always be takers and always be givers. It is better to give and to love. Have a wonderful/blessed day.....................

Thank you, Paula, for your kind comments. It would make life much easier for us if there were more givers than takers. I return your lovely blessings, Paula. Take care. Shirley

Gershon, do you think we might be just a tad selfish! Take care. Shirley

Shirley….your poem speaks so much truth.A lot of folks seem so self consumed. Vanity plays a big part in that…the way we look has become way too important and the focus. So many think it’s only about them ….the I and the me!! Loved this Debx
