Observation

Some do--are you a doer?
Some just take--are you a
taker? Some attempt to mend
what others break--are you a
mender or breaker?  Then there
are others, grades and shades
between...seldom standing firm--
with the winds they lean.

I'm a 'doer' for sure....I'm not comfortable around those who just 'drift' especially liked; Then there are others, grades and shades between...seldom standing firm-- with the winds they lean. oh my, wish those folks would take a stand!

I feel the same way, Sara; I am very poor at small talk. Language, people interaction needs gusto, deep commitment or it is a waste of precious time. Life has so much more to offer. Why there is true poetry. Not talking cute rhymes and mere flashy alliteration.

I would say? I have been a ( multi faceted ) man...Not always on plan.. As lost as a profit...When some ladys Maybe got any knowledge of it. ' Do I Make any cents.' Joe Dimino.? Cause I'm damned more if I know.? I plead The blood of Christ at all oppertunitys Btw He waived the insurance fee.' For any such as me.)

Yes, we must find the right things to support. Being human, sometimes very difficult to know truth. Not always what we see and want. We give our will to Christ guidance.
