    Blessed

     There is a demarcation
    I learned about somewhere
    Tween those who can't and those who won't
    And those who just don't care,

    And those who can, and those who will,
    Who try their level best.
    I wonder which, as time slips by
    Will find their life's been blessed?

    Wow, Glenn... A wonderfully short, and beautiful piece, almost epic in it's brevity, and laden with a monster philosophical true'ism... Great write my friend....

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
