my wild streak, long and wide.
So consequently fail to see,
the gentle man inside.

Some folks never see the man,
woven in this rhyme.
I know they could, if they would,
only take the time.

Some folks view the way I live,
and think: "The man's insane."
Then pretend, to be my friend.
For a chance to mine my golden vien.

Some folks, think they have me pegged,
after just one glance.
Then get hot, when they find they're not,
my master in lifes mental dance.

Some folks don't appreciate
what I give of me.
It is my Lords commandment.
that I obey so happily.

Still, some folks never get beyond,
my wild streak, long and wide.
some folks through life stumble on.
I'm trying to reach my stride.

*Bravo!*

Some folks are like that, thankfully not all.

People often take advantage of niceness, or peg us to be whomever they think we are and they assume alot.

I liked this poem alot as well.

Very heart felt message. I enjoyed the visual.
