courage.
...and what are the words one uses to describe a compilation?, works from my entire life?, fifty years of carrying around a yellow pad?, fifty years of writing and rewriting, changing the words, as their meanings change for me?
These pieses are extracted from my book of prose, “50 Truths and 50 Lies, the first 50 years.” Available From: http://www.cafepress.com/byrongates.26516064

WMG and
Woman Appreciation
i don’t have the courage i once had,
nor the abilities i once felt comfortable with.
i have lost some of those qualities;
occasionally, i even miss them.
now i have more time, more peace, more heart,
more patience, and more tolerance.
now, i am more comfortable in my skin,
in my life,
and with my courage.
