Hi ... today I was looking though some boxes. I love to keep things that make me feel good. Some are things that I call "saving time"... which shows something from an earlier time in my life.
Today I came across a paper clipping.. from many years ago,,sorry I don't know who wrote it.. it is the following...
---------------MYSELF----------- .......I have to live with myself, and so .......I want to be fit for myself to know .......I want to be able , as days go by, .......Always to look myself straight in the eye. .......I don't want to stand, with the setting sun, ............And hate myself for the things I've done. ............I want to go out with my head erect, ............I want to deserve all men's respect. ............For here is the struggle for fame and self ............I want to be able to like myself ............I don't want to look at myself and know ............I'm bluster, a buff and an empty show. ............I never can hide myself from ME; ............I see what others may never see. ............I know what others may never know. ............I never can fool myself and so, ............Whatever happens, I want to be ............Self-respecting and conscience free.
