Metaphorically Speaking

This is the story of who I am I give all I can and then some. I, a bee, will sting if you wrong If nice, an help mate I will be. Many are the roads to one’s heart The main road, truthfulness, is a very good start." You will get caught if you fool around You are unfaithful you're out the door. They say Tom's drunk but Tom’s no fool I don’t drink no more so I am super wise I, the carpenter’s tool you use despise liars, and heart users I hate. I am me…super special me A carbon copy I am not So here I am, a pure clean heart, True love to give, only to him that’s worthy. Written on Sept. 8 2012 For Catie's Contest: Metaphorically Speaking

You know I love tools [believe it I do!] Often I feel like a tool in the hands of higher power, in the beginning it used to bother me! Now I think ;) hell..there's nothing BETTER than a good tool and I pray to be the right tool for the job. SWAK Congrad's on your win. Light & Love
