Let me put this in perspective for you. <br />Are you ready? <br />This journey began in 1952. <br />I was 5 <br />When I announced I needed to take lessons, <br />To pursue my ambitions. <br />There was no 'stage mother'. <br />No overindulgent father. <br />There were gifts given to me by God. <br />And I knew it! <br />Just like I do today. <br /> <br />Does that clarify my arrogance for you? <br /> <br />Either way... <br />I still feel obligated with a patience, <br />To continue to tolerate your ignorance. <br />And 'that' is my true talent! <br />A blessing that curses and irritates me both. <br />But God knows where I would be... <br />Without Him, Her or IT and patience.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
