Array ( [sid] => 173516 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => trying to fix me [time] => 2012-08-02 06:56:09 [hometext] => some of us are good at many things except when it comes down to fixing ourselves,especially me. [bodytext] => I thought I could fix anything
that my eye's could clearly see
but until now I never thought about
trying to fix me

my kids call me the fix it man
a name I'm proud to hold
I make them smile when their unhappy
at least this is what I'm told

it's always been apart of me
to simply make a smile
for anyone that would cross my path
it only took a little while

I thank god for my children
for with them I know I'm blessed
but I just cannot figure out
how I became such a mess

no matter what I try to do
there is always something not Right
no matter what it's based upon
though I try with all my might

anymore I just brush it off
to what has to be will be
it is my major imperfection
trying to fix me

Wow, it was as if i was just looking in a mirror just now. I am exactly the same way! I have just learned to believe that my place here on earth is to help others and in doing so, my own path will be guided. I love to make others happy and make them smile after they have been feeling so depressed or sad. That alone gives me energy, but i always wonder why i am sad inside.

Thanks for sharing this poem with us, really a great write.

Wayne.

Sometimes we need a little helping fixing things instead of trying to do it all on your own.
Other people see the things we miss.
Maybe this is where the problem lies.

Nice work
