The Good the Bad the Special
THE GOOD…
They say I am a dreamer and a true romantic fool
Happiest living in my own little world though you are welcome too
Extremely intuitive my sun in Pisces whilst loving the moon and the sea
Gracious and kind to the human race all cruelty I abhor but compassion I adore
Once your friend I will always be there in happiness and in despair
Often put others before myself more important to me in the end
Dedication and passion are emotions I share for all in need for all out there
THE BAD…
The tendency for me to strive toward complete perfection
Having taken too much on I feel unable to say ‘No’
Emotions will run high as so sensitive and shy am I
Blushing at the slightest thing just wanting to curl up and die
Anxiety creeps inside of me taking over body and soul
Draining my persona until it has nowhere to go
THE SPECIAL…
The special things in life for me I write down in my poetry
Have always loved this planet and all the creatures on it
Eternally I’ll always be right here for friends and family
Smiles greet folk this brand new day lifting my soul and making their day
Positive thinking no room for negativity ~ my glass is always full
Emotions are worn upon my sleeve so to hug will always do it for me
Could not survive for very long without music to sing my favourite songs
I always say ‘I love you’ bidding loved ones adios and farewell
Always give thanks at the end of each day for who knows it may be my last
Life I never take for granted ~ so precious ~ so fragile ~ I treasure each day
