Some Things

Some things I just know
In my heart 
Are so

Some things in this tender soul
Which I guard 
To stay whole

Loving caring listening giving 
Is a sweet way
Of living 

Simple joys quiet and small 
Feed my spirit to keep giving 
My all

No complete angel am I
I fail over & over although 
I try

This stubborn heart loves though battered 
To be healed and reborn as though nothing
Else mattered

Disappointment shame an embarrassed fool
So enraged 
So uncool

Triumphs successes such glorious pain
Fall down many times only to
RISE AGAIN!
