Let me put this in perspective for you. br Are you ready? br This journey began in 1952. br I was 5 br When I announced I needed to take lessons, br To pursue my ambitions. br There was no 'stage mother'. br No overindulgent father. br There were gifts given to me by God. br And I knew it! br Just like I do today. br br Does that clarify my arrogance for you? br br Either way... br I still feel obligated with a patience, br To continue to tolerate your ignorance. br And 'that' is my true talent! br A blessing that curses and irritates me both. br But God knows where I would be... br Without Him, Her or IT and patience.br br Lawrence S.
