Capable
27 March, 2003
Author: Barbara Goodhew
When you are treated like you are able.
You feel like you are quit capable.
When you are with people that expect you to fail.
That's when you feel nervous and frail.
When you are around people that give you praise.
You feel like they have given you a raise.
When you feel like you are impressing them you want to do more.
Expecting the worse makes people nervous and clumbsy.
Praise builds confidence and when you are confident you feel
CAPABLE

| Red Dragon (210.14.4.51) -- Tuesday, April 1 2003, 02:06 pm This poem brings strength. It does to me. The last line hit it hard, a reawakening. Sometimes we stumble and badly bruised, and no matter how hard we try, seems that all our efforts are not enough. But then again, we forget that we all have the will. We try, most of the time, yes, but we never will. "Praise builds confidence and when you are confident you feel CAPABLE". Trully Profound! |
| Martin Vann (67.30.70.176) -- Tuesday, April 1 2003, 03:53 pm Barb, I like your attitude a lot. People can affect us so much, which is why I appreciate your attitude. I suppose its up to us how we let others effect us. This is one of the reasons I like being part of Dreamersreality, so many sweet & caring people here. You all build my confidence, thanks for being friends. Barb, very good poem and I noticed, you gave it that big KISS touch, made it easy to enjoy! Thanks MartinV |
