FAIR WARNING

Louis Gibbs

 

Before undertaking a

Monumental shift in character

May I recommend this plea:

 

With the help of

Gracious guides and angels,

I release that negative aspect of self

Which no longer serves me.

 

May mercy be

Bestowed on me

In this transformation!

 

So may it be.

    I see this as a plea to the inner self - great write Louis.

        It is that. I appreciate your comment, Mugs.

        I think it is nearly impossible to change one's character without help. Your plea is perfect!

        • Louis Gibbs

          Especially when it has been one way for so long a time. Thanks so much, Fred!

        • Goldfinch60

          Amen.

          • Louis Gibbs

            Perfect ending, Goldie.

            A fine write L. I believe it's the 'inner self' that needs changing, not (or not only) the 'outward state' of 'society' as some abstract thing.

            • Louis Gibbs

              I'll have a sherry to that, 'O'!

            • wordseven7

              Inner change will reflect outward.
              This we all need.....

              • Louis Gibbs

                True words, w-s. Thank you for your input!

                Great write Louis. We are doing about the same thing. Looking for changes leaving behind what we don't need.

                • Louis Gibbs

                  Congratulations to you, Malu, and Godspeed!

                  Great write. I hope your transformation is smooth and event free.

                  • Louis Gibbs

                    Thank you for this kind thought, l-g, though I'm afraid it is anything but that.

                    Who let that pussycat in here? Everything must change, tis one of the laws of nature be it only death or decay a change will come. But you can doso much better than that with willpower and the good help of friends around you.

                    • Louis Gibbs

                      And where would we be without our friends here on MPS? Thanks for your comment, d-a.
