I'm not really the poet many of you are. Forgive me OK?

Thank you.

Country Kid

Back woods Bible thumpers

Hills and hollows jumpers

Pine and Cypress stumps

wildly growing Palmetto clumps

Are a way of life, no need to compete;

For what? Just to find defeat?

Yes we most enjoy our times at play

but work to sweat hard each new day.

Simple need not mean in our brain

and life may be no larger than a Wheat grain.

If yer diggin here to find my Gold

yer trousers might stay empty till yer way old.

An open mind, tolerance in a kind heart

That's really the best place to start

Ya might find me somewhat insensitive

but my motto always is live and let live.

Update:

Hi Prince. Thank you. I'm tryin.

Update 2:

Wow thank you Nancy. I'm really an OK kid, tryin to hold close to my "sisters" and see if I can be a poet too.

I know you know Dallas and she spoke so kindly of how you and so many accept her, and for that, for her, I am so thankful.

    You mustn't ask for forgiveness when you write a bit of something

    there is nothing to forgive,

    I dunno why I kept the boots?

    your poem is fine,

    it may not be perfect by some standards,

    insensitivity is not really there, I think like myself you are exhibiting hypersensitivity, beneath the cover of your words
