Description
Things I Know (And Some I Don’t)
I know how to live
How to love
I know how to give
And how to take
I’m leaning how to trust
And how to care
And how to just
Believe in myself
The road to all these
Wonderful paths
Has been long
And sometimes painful
But along that same path
Has been a world
Of so much
So many truly good things
It’s a matter of
Sorting them all out
Sifting through the sands
And keeping the good
I don’t know where I’ll be
Or what I’ll be doing
All the time every day
But I do know this
It will be the way
I need to live
The way I want to live
The way life takes me
So what have I learned
What DO I know
I am loved
I love
I am cared for
I care
I am given life
I live
And I want to shout it out
And tell the world

Bust it out from a Mountain Top, This is Fantastic!!!!!!
It's funny! I was listening to Bjork just before reading/seeing this and I could almost imagine her belting out "It will be the way/I need to live/the way I want to live" and well...I can't say your words are inexorably linked to hers, but there's that common, strong theme! Fantastic work, beautifully stated, as always!
Indeed! The journey is the whole point. Nicely written!
excellent !!
wonderful thought.. 'alive' one might say

Hug and giant kiss in your heart. Luminous blesing.Ludy
There is so much that people could learn from your prose Marilyn. Reading it brought forth this. There’s not enough trust and too few believers. There are to many takers and not enough givers, Some take too much because they are greedy, There are too few carers to succour the needy. I hope you don't mind me posting it here, I am not normally a poetic person but on reading yours this just popped into my head and I had to write it down. Am I being too cynical in my thoughts? Your writings seem much softer and loving than my harsh verse. Excellent prose and image. Bravo!!!!!
Beatifully written, Jeff and thank you for sharing this here~~you should post it on your own as well!!
Let it all out. 5+.
Beautiful inspirational words, Marilyn...perhaps all of us could learn from these words you have shared with us. Shout it out!!!
