Creating oneself is a lifetime matter.
The thing is as a youngster I had such
expectations of making a difference and
now find looking after myself and family
a lofty goal...lol.

I am future past
I am a flash in the pan
I am a love that could never last
I am the memory of a man

And that makes you who you are...just like everyone else...just a man...trying to lead life the best they can...nice write

Cool write my friend, this is keeper from the great poet Boyshchrm I Am

Thanks Steve. Your comments
help give me relevance!

Hi Boysh,

You are not the only one. I share you sentiment.

Wonderful write my friend..I suppose if man is left to himself to evaluate his own self worth he could make himself a god (which many have), or he could feel himself to be less than nothing(which many have).To have faith in God is to see ourselves as he see us (of infinite worth).We sometimes are painfully aware of our physical smallness compared to infinite creation, but that is actually a good thing. What would creation be if no one knew it existed? WE Know!God said, 'Man was his crowning work of creation.' Man possesses attributes of mind, spirit,a unique consciousness not shared by any other life form.We are worth more than we can ever imagine..

Thanks Fjames.You are too kind.
I am a skeleton
Wearing sunglasses
I am a thin melon
Lost in the masses

Well thanks Niah...but out of modesty
I will not write that fifth stanza.

Thanks MacDuff. I sometimes feel like a piece
of sand on an endless beach...oh, another
possible verse...lol.

Thanks for your wonderful comments CafeTwo.
Gives me hope that I am more than H2O and
bones.

Hi Boys,
i am words on the wind,lovely. Fantastic write,a great lesson...staying true to oneself and ones imperfection that is so well manifested on a daily basis,thanks ...PN1

Boysh, You are a great inspitation to many...everything isn't as it seems when you look at the whole, but only when you look at the individual things that make up the whole....

Thanks for your astute comments GnJ.

Thanks PN1. Yes we must live with
our imperfections and thought that
we are but a grain of sand in the
scope of things.

Thanks Yankee4 for your comment.It is just that so
many things need changing in this world and one
feels so powerless to do anything.
