It's Not about ME!

POEM FOR THE WEEK

 

"IT'S NOT ABOUT ME!"

 

Passed over by some

to some you're a "gem"

ignored by many

don't worry 'bout them

 

God who made you

knows your worth

if they can't see it

carry on with mirth

 

Keep smiling and singing

and dance a bit too

celebrate often

the Gifts HE gave you

 

Give them away

often as you can

for that is exactly

what's in His Plan

 

Every good gift

is meant to be shared

we're not to count up

how many have cared

 

What a relief

when I can see

It really is not

at all about ME

 

Like a circus dog

I performed in the ring

and looked for approval

my songs I'd sing

 

Waiting to hear

compliments and applause

I know I was driven

and I know the cause

 

It's time to relax

and simply "be"

now that I know

It's NOT about ME

 

(by Jana Lapel for the book "Under the Makeup It's Me!")
