For those of you who keep up with this blog, you are undoubtable aware of a lack of entries for a space of time. For that I apologize, but will just say that 2010 was not a very good year in Texas. I’ve rewritten an old poem that I want to share with you on a different level than I have previously. I hope you enjoy it.
Eye to Eye
I wish to be surrounded
Be people who can hear
My thoughts as I collect them
Not always crystal clear
By people who afford me
The space I sometimes need
Yet always there, dependable
Love & kindness in their deeds
Wit and charm are not required
Yet intelligence is a must
Ability to converse on
Many topics without fuss
Respect for me and what I need
Must be atop the list
Not meaning to be selfish
But it’s critical when it’ s missed.
Don’t want to be weak
To make you feel strong
eye to eye, strength to strength
I need your balance to offset mine.
Truth straight up is easier to take
Than lies told to avoid
So honesty is a must
If life together we can enjoy.
