DON'T THINK OF ME

Don't think of me in a darkened way
Just think of me for I'd like to say
Don't think of me as a doubter of faith

Just  think of me, a woman of grace
 I am who I am, the best I can be
For you see  I have the sun shining on me
I am who I've become, the one with a smile
Spend all my days, lovely and worthwhile

Don't think of me in a mediocre light
Just think of me, a life so bright
Don't think of me with distrust and discern
Just think of me for you may learn

I am who I am, and that's all there is
All a part of me is love that I give
I am only me, a speck on this earth
Was graced with love beginning with birth

Don't think of me and decide to run
Just think of me and how I've begun
Don't think of me and ask me why
Just think of me, I have no reason to lie
 I am who I am, and that's all I can be
I love all of life, it's beauty I see
I am who I am, remember me this way
I love my life and for all I do pray.

Dear Mona

This for rhyme and meter is nearly perfect ... I would change only one thing .... the do before pray at the very end of the last line ... I pray gives it a softer feel for me love Jayne-Chloe x x x

Yes and thank you so much

You know how many times I changed that last line and so good for you to feel it and catch that for me again, I did change it and thanks so much for the feedback I do appreciate that very much. I tried to email you but something is still wrong with your inbox. You might have to delete some old messages I am not sure but Andrew or the tech team should be able to fix it for you. Love Mona Learn to live, learn to forgive. Life is too short.

Now you made me hungry!

I love Italian food (but must confess a pork roast will almost always set my hunger on fire).

Thank you Indi

I appreciate that as I sit here reflecting on a friend we lost last night to a love lost of his, and what a beautiful person he was. I am saddened this day and just wrote a poem of him just as I woke up this morning as I got the call late last night. If you have a chance please go read it, my friend, miss talking with ya. Later,Love Mona Learn to live, learn to forgive. Life is too short.
