Simple Is Just Simply Me

Complicated I am not
Frustrated I can be
Simple is my quest 
Contests I do my best

I leave perfection to all the rest
I only write what I feel
Spell Check I leave up to you
Much soup mail I receive

A true blessing given to me
Helpful hints and missed spelled words
All giving me love in your words
My head is not so big

To help me when in need
My heart fills with smiles 
When I make a mistake
For I know you will help me

This is the love I have found
I love making Mistakes and
Your Soup Mail you send to me!

Congratulations on your POTD. I love it when someone says it is wrong. That is the only way one can fix a mistake. I hate it when someone says, nothing is wrong & there really is a problem. It can never be fixed. You did a Great job........
