“A Fool Such As I”


 


Some people


Admire the work of a fool


But makes me smile


Oh!


Why was I born with a different tongue?


Can there be anything meaner


Than the judge-mental fool


Just leave me to my sorrows


For there are no such thing…


Like a better tomorrow


When waves of the battle


Starts moving along like the ocean


There is nothing so painful


When emotions becomes brittle


And the errors of life


Starts to haunt you


And when there are no more friends


Songs or instruments of joy


How can we expect forgiveness from above?


Some people admire the work


Of a fool such as I


And for those foolish fools just like me


I say thank you


For keeping me company


And for warming my heart filled with love


But for today


I have nothing more to say


Than “I love You”


Take care

What makes you think you are a fool? Oh please...
Don't you see all these people around, your friends, that admire your work?
Guess it was just a little something to post - without serious background.
Lol on Sara's remark. So - where is your keyboard?
Love

A person hasn't lived life until he or she has been a fool in love.
It's helps when I take two donuts for the pain.

And you take care, too, Tinky, my friend. And I truly believe that we are all just fools on this path we call life.

I would be honored to be a part of your fool's parade, Tinka. Your words come from your heart and a heart doesn't know time nor does it realize our mistakes. The heart is a very interesting thing in that, no matter how much love you give away, it remains full of love.
Take care,
Sherry

Oh Tinka, dear, there really is a better tomorrow. I believe that most of us have experienced times like you are going through. We are here to hold you up. You ask the question "How can we expect forgiveness from above?" Well,the answer is this. He loves us, in spite of anything and everything that we have done. He is wanting you to come to Him, holding His arms open wide for you. He IS the one that can fix things for you. RESTORE YOU. He wants to. We love you Tinka, please......don't give up! Love, Leah
