To Y.O.U. ...

(with love) I will always remember words—by…you.

I have been called prophetic and sometimes even poetic(?)

funny.

(and not by you.)

I was called a Stalker…

(funn-ier yet—by who?)

I have been called an  “All-About-Me-Some-Thing-or-Other” (By—you.)

I have been told that I am a  a great friend;

(and not by you)

a Liar.

(even though you and  I know what is true.)

Some say that I am a great and amazing mother;

(at one time even said by you!)

I have been called, “a poor excuse of a mother”;

(sadly, words spoken by—you.)

I was once told that I was more interesting than Buddha and all of the saints!

(and not by you!)

don't wonder--who...

I’ve been called an entrepreneur and a wise woman…

(and not by you.)

(but, what is wise anyway?)

and what do labels mean?

How does one wear a compliment or an insult?

(with—

i-n-d-i-f-f-e-r-e-n-c-e)

And what do I call myself?

A-muse(d).

(and not-by-you.)

but always with a capital “A”.
