The Blind Gardener I feel like a blind gardener,The Blind Gardener by ~Partial-Credit
Always planting seeds in peoples' heads
But never getting to see the results.
Not that I'm some magnanimous humanitarian,
But people should be more thoughtful than they are;
More educated than they are;
More honest with themselves than they are.
I'm not a great modern-day saint,
And I'm not a genius,
But I am honest -
people only say "brutally honest" because they think of truth like a thorn in their side
And I can teach them.
I'm not the typical modern-day sinner,
And I'm not an ignorant person,
But I am honest,
And I can teach them.
Between the extremes I live,
Able to bridge the gap be


Reflection of the Day They say the devil's in the details.Reflection of the Day by ~Partial-Credit
Boy, am I glad I'm a detail-oriented person.

Credit I am stronger than my fears,Credit by ~Partial-Credit
Stronger than my lust;
I can deny myself
To be whom I must.

When storms set me a-spin.
How can this be so
When many 'round me sink?
I credit my Protector,
My life to Whom I link.
He is my holy armor,
This God of Mysteries,
As He has been for countless
Through human history.
Kings have sought for ages
To own this sense of worth
Forgetting it was given them
Before their very birth.
Sometimes I too forget
The grace He put in me

Love Never Clings The love that will never be,Love Never Clings by ~Partial-Credit
The love that will never end,
The relationship that will never grow
Because we are good friends.
Unspoken goes my resolve
To love him as he needs,
But every time, I wonder,
Does my restraint go unseen?
He is my best and brightest
Delight of my heart,
Never to be together
Because we're worlds apart.
Effort is not lamented,
No, true love never clings
She is the wind that billows
'Neath her beloved's wings.

I know the group has made a similar entry on this before, but I thought a little refresher for our Farfetch'd entrants would not be amiss. After all, I am a writer, and I would like to see our rank prosper! So, I thought I might give some tips to would-be writers out there.
Please do not be offended by this! It is not meant to insult, only to help, and hopefully inspire!
