This Is Me

I would say on first summings, being a little  shy
 sit back and read my poem,i`ll try to explain why
   my speach is not so perfect flowing,i get a little tensed
     until you get to know me,i let down my gaurd and fence
  
         Of all that can succomb to me,`til i`m comfortable you`ll know
          my confidence,relaxing and along my speach will flow
            when i  do feel at ease, and amongst all friends
              the joker does emerge from me,then i will probably tend

                 To come out from my shell, and enjoy a drink or two.
                   Or onto my Fiance` and family,that i love so dear
                     my friends i do have a few or just general peers
                       i have one daughter, and a grandson,my heart i hold so near

                          I like to think i`m thoughtful,kind,selfless and caring
                           and give sound advice,whenever it seems bearing
                             so Tracie, i`d like to think i`ve covered, all of your ground
                              without blowing my horn, i`d say i`m sound as a pound.
