‘Better to be silent than appear proud
and speak of accomplishments out loud’
How old are we when self-consciousness zips
joyous celebration behind our lips?
…and now at forty-six I must share, and tell
of something that I think I have done quite well
Old habits die hard; I’ve acquired a demeanor
that readily demotes my best attempts as mediocre
Long ago my mother taught me each small deed done well
builds a firm foundation on which we can excel…
so this is my humble and daily quest;
to embrace every moment and give it my best
Through this endeavor there are a few things I’ve done
that are entirely out of my comfort zone
Girded by encouragement, and kind assistance too
I started a blog, and thus I met you
So if there is one thing I am ‘proud’ of today
It’s you; the wonderful friends on blog high-way
