You

FredPeyer

But man is not made for defeat.

A man can be destroyed but not defeated

Ernest Hemingway

 

 

If life wears you down

And you feel like a clown

If problems seem to mount

And you feel you don’t count

Remember, no matter what others do

You are special because you are you

            This one would work well for a Hallmark Greeting card. Well put poem, Fred! Good advice.

            • FredPeyer

              Thanks Louis, never thought of it, but yes, you are right, it might fit a card with the right design. Maybe I am in the wrong business!

                We are all unique because no one can do what we do in exactly the same way. You wrote this poem because you are you. And you did it beautifully Fred.

                • FredPeyer

                  Thanks so much AP! You are right, we are all different, we all have something else to give to the world, and most important of all, we have to be ourselves.
