Just take 2 secs out of your day to fill in the poem on the parts between the brackets, then read it back to yourself. It is said that "if human beings knew their own inner secrets, never would they look elsewhere for seeking happiness, peace and inner light".


I am

I am (two special characteristics you have).
I wonder (something you are actually curious about).
I hear (an imaginary sound).
I see (an imaginary sight).
I want(an actual desire).
I am (the first line of the poem repeated).

I pretend (something you actually pretend to do).
I feel (a feeling about something imaginary).
I touch (an imaginary touch).
I worry(something that really bothers you).
I cry (something that makes you very sad)
I am (the first line of the poem repeated).

I understand (something you now is true).
I say (something you believe in).
I dream (something you actually dream about).
I try (something you really make an effort about).
I hope (something you actually hope for).
I am (the first line of the poem repeated).

ADlayD...I found it hard to fill in the brackets too...what I found is that it was a really intimate ,personal exercise,and I had to be brutally honest with myself.After,i did it though,I re-read it and felt Id discovered another part of my character.
Again,very good!!!banana.gifbanana.gifbanana.gif

I Promise

If you just say the word that you will be my other half...I promise to make it worth your while and run your bubble bath..

To love you like Christ loves the church and to show how much I care..I promise to keep all GODs vows cause this bro aint going nowhere.

And just in case we have the days that we have some kind of strife..I promise to shower you withlillies cause I want you in my life..

For you to stay I mean everyday. I know it can be a task..But I promise to cater to every need, I mean anything you ask..

This is what I sent to my girlfriend...I havent heard from her yet (about my poem)...its been 2 days






Where there is'nt ORDER, there's CHAOS!!!
