I've stopped attempting to find explanations,  
For my thoughts.  
Or, make someone feel less intimidated... 
For the experiences I have,  
On the avenues I've walked. 
 
I am not seeking to please  
Or satisfy another's comfort... 
To discover me in a defensive position. 
Needing or pleading from anyone,  
Their attention. 
 
Did I mention... 
I make no excuses or seek acceptance.  
I am a grown man. 
And I am who I am.  
I seek only God's favor.  
And I desire only His blessings. 
For which I am grateful. 
 
Any forgiveness or forgetting that has to be done... 
Is discussed when I am in conference with Him!  
And we...my God and me,  
Are not seeking outside approval!

'Thank you so much, Anita. 
Be well, prosperous. 
And enjoy your abundance of faith,  
Which supplies all needs! '
