"What is not to Love about me?"

What is not to Love about me?
When I look, it is with loving eyes I see
When I speak, is is with respect and care
When I critique, it is with Love, for with malice I would not dare
When I Love, it is deep, true and full
When I help, no payment is asked in return, not the slightest toll
When I care, no circumstance will change my mind
When I am needed, no better friend you will find
When I parent, I am stern with a Loving gentle touch
When I pray, it is with devotion and never to much
When I work, my best efforts are always given
When I play, I make it fun, a time worth livin
When I fight, it is with passion and not without cause
When I make a mistake, I am the first to admit my flaws
When I make a promise, it will always be kept
When my heart is broken, I am not afraid to admit I wept
When I am asked for advice, I will always give the truth
When I smile big, it is real and you will see each and every tooth
When I am with my kids, there is no better feeling
When I am faced with a problem, there is no one better at dealing
When I give, I am always willing and without a fee
What is not to Love about me?

"Anxiety"

It can strike without warning or other times you feel it
With a truck or a freight train it feels like you have been hit
Your heart palpates, out of rythym and beat
Knees wobbely, unsteady, sweating with no heat
Like an elephant standing on your chest with all its might
For every breath you must struggle, for each is a fight
Your mind races without control and fills with dread
The worst case scenario, nothing else in your head
You feel like you are drowning and everybody sees
But instead of helping, they walk by like the breeze
Your scared, your sad and panicked all at one time
Your selfworth is nothing, a case for depression you are prime
Sleep is not likely, as hard as you try
Lying there exhausted, all you want to do is cry
No motivation, no drive, a complete lack of desire
Nothing is important, you have lost your fire
Medication can help and psychatrists too
Until finally its realized, the change must come from you

"Gossip"

Whispering, mumbling, winks of an eye
A hush comes over when the victim is nearby
Can't understand what is so important to say
When that person is not around and in play
But alas, it happens all of the time
Somebody is talked about for no reason or rhyme
Does it make a person feel better to cut someone down?
Fine, then why don't you say it when they are around!
A coward whispers behind peoples' backs
Makes opinions and judgements without the facts
Why is there no courage to say it to their face?
Low morale character, insecurities is usually the case.
Not only is it wrong, but the act is a sin
From the serpents tongue and the darkness within
To the people that feel that gossip is not profane
Hear this declaration: THERE ARE FEW THINGS THAT CAUSE AS MUCH PAIN!
