This week I wrote a poem "I write almost every day." This poem is about the things in life that I can deal with. Let me know what you think; With or Without
June 18, 2009
There’s a lot in life I can deal with.
There’s a lot I can deal without.
I could deal with a slow dance,
I would love t have a kind man to hold my hand and waltz around.
I could deal with a romance if I only had the chance.
I deal with problems every day.
When the solution comes my way, I say why didn’t I think of that before?
It should be simple at not a chore.
Laugh! Laugh! Laugh at yourself and at others when they do something dumb.
Know where they’re coming from.
There’s a lot in life I can not deal without but really it’s a short list.
Discrimination is one.
Being left out is no fun.
I can deal without all of the confusion but I guess it adds to the illusion that is life.
You got to try!
Never be satisfied with squeaking by.
Weigh all the things you can deal with with all of the things you can deal without.
Some of the withouts are what we have to have to be glad and appreciate the gifts we are blessed with.
Concentrate on the with and not the without.
Whenever you are down and the without monster comes around,
Drive him deep in the ground!

Hey Goldy...
That is a very nice poem! Writing every day is great therapy and though you feel sad sometimes, it helps get that out so you can be more positive again. I know one day you will dance. Not the dance that comes so easily to all the rest, but a truly special and well deserved dance, YOUR DANCE --- the one that you are waiting for. You are a very special woman! Keep your chin up and look for your special guy--- the one who will dance with you. Smile!!!

Thank you so much Mildred. I have a great aunt by that name by the way. Life is full of new and interesting things. When I am inspired, I write my thoughts and feelings down. Now I know not to give up. If you wait long enough something will happen.
