Poem Artwork




if it ain't bust'd
why attempt to
improve it unless
you are driven to
absolutely do sumthin'
to revise it--but if you
don't need to improve it
and are happy
everytime you use it,
then perhaps this should
cause you to rethink
why you use it in the first place
because of someone who doesn't
use it and tells you they
cannot see the value
of why you keep on usin'
that which you believe
is of most importance to you. . .
so why fret in the attempt
to explain to someone else
who cannot understand
the value of that gift 
that's embe d'd in the nucleus 
of your soul?

"You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. Don't beat your head against a brick wall."

These are sayings we've heard many times in our life, but why do we continue to try to explain what's on our soul to someone who 'just doesn't get it?'

Okay, you have my head spinning around like that girl in The Exorcist, Cynth'ya. LOL! This is so true, no point in talking until we are blue in the face, trying to explain that which we find to be of great value, despite the opposite opinion of others. There is a reason why they make vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and all the rest; we each have the one that we think is best and there is nobody out there who is probably going to change our point of view on the issue. Wonderful offering.
Take care,
Sherry
