Raising the Bar

FredPeyer

If figuring out who we are

Is giving us sorrow and pain

Maybe we should raise the bar

And fully engage our brain

 

Ascertain what we have got

To elucidate who we are not!

      Thanks so much Fay, and thanks for making it a favorite.
      Had to hold my head sideways so the little brain I have was all in one place to write this one! 🙂

    • Accidental Poet

      Yes Fred, relieving personal guilt is an encouraging lift that many need. Excellent write. ; )

      • FredPeyer

        Thank you AP, sometimes it is good to take an honest and hard look at ourselves. We might not like what we find, but at least we know what to improve.

        • Accidental Poet

          Yes Fred, that's the best way to look at it. ; )

            Erm, so if we find out what we are not, what is left will be what we are. Yes? I feel a headache coming on with too much thinking! Mind you, that happens after about 2 minutes. heehee.

            • FredPeyer

              Thanks orchidee, that's the idea! But don't think too much, in your case, all you will find is good!
