Stiefelled

Choked up.  From what?  Who knows?

Some part of our existence for sure.  Like what?

Like our soft heart - ripped and torn,

sharped and panged,

desperately needing loving support.

Then give it! - without expecting

it in return.

We tire of the people - not giving us

the love we need.

Then give it!

You are doing a great job now.

Giving yourself this time 

for these words.

Stiefelled from how we are perceived.

The varied perception clouds clarity.

We achieved Leadership and Authority

simply by being old - the 

people look to us for example.

The example I set may be too

different from their expectations

but, I am the Example.

I am the Authority.

We acknowledge yours.

And in this time for these words,

we feel the love given by the people,

and in this feeling of the love given,

the sharp strings stifling our heart

loosen, encouraging our positive, 

healthy, expansive existence.
