that is a wonderful poem but i sometimes feel blue but not often since i do like blue skies

It's weird how the color blue is associated with sadness. After all, as you said, what if it's your favorite color? Does that imply you like being sad? Nope! Then again, as folks, I s'pose we have to have something to associate to everything. :)

sometimes i'm sad but not often i am but Blue does keep me calm

:)

Glad you liked the poem, Foo. Was a fun write that, for me, boils down to saying, "One should do the right thing just to do it" rather than for a personal gain. :)

I try to as well, though it doesn't always work out.

Well, it is human nature to desire something exchange for something else. As such, no need to be so hard on yourself if you do find there to be times where your motives may be far less friendly and considerate. The key point is to be sure you do more towards thinking and respecting others than simply using them for personal gain. :)

Though, I still feel bad I owe you art, I've just been short on time, as the norm seems to be for me.

Oh, Foo. *Hugs* Don't sweat it. Think of the art I did for you as a gift. There's no need to do anything in return for me except continue to have fun and enjoy yourself on here and DA with all your friends. :)

*Tears up a little* That's the nicest thing someone's done for me in a while. :)

Bwoop! I remember this when you first posted it. 8D I guess everyone has different ways, or different ways of thinkin' on things, but I definitely prefer bein' around the people an' pals that're here. 8D We all help each other out a lot more than we notice, I think!

*Snuggles the friendly ham-ham* Darn tootin'! And, I don't know if you caught it, but I added an actual "ending" to this version where the original was left sort of incomplete. *Smiles wide* Yay for a clean and solid ending. :)

Thank you kindly. I don't dabble much in poetry, but I do enjoy when the right thought comes along to bring me to do a work such as this. Amazing the power inspiration can be. :)

Very truthful poem my friend :). I like how Yosh is in his thinking stance here :) hehe

I am glad you liked it as you helped inspire it through our talks. Faith, God, Friends, and Family play a major role in our lives. It's how we respect and apply them individually that makes us who we are. :)

Right now, as I heal from this surgery, I think to myself how tempting it would be to ask God why he has bestowed yet another challenge upon me while praying for a fast recovery. However, I also realize God works in mysterious ways and, although I may not fully understand why I must endure now, I know I will come out a stronger and more positive individually in the end as God would not have given my body the ability to heal after this surgery if there still was not work for me to do with the usable vision I hope to soon regain. :)

*Hugs* Right now my red-vision has turned to yellow. This seems like a good sign. Soon, I hope to gain all my clarity back so I can enjoy your work even more, Tippie. Though, after I rest my eye a bit, I may check out that Note I saw you wrote and, with my technology, see what I can do to work up something for Pam and Ripp. I don't need visual clarity to write and a project right now would be just the remedy to keep my burdened mind on a positive track. :)

Stay wonderful! :)

By putting the people second after the heavenly, it sort of hints towards a preference to the people. Is this true? o.o Just wondering ^u^

I tried to make it open-ended with the idea of showing how folks attribute good times and bad times in their lives to either the heavenly or those around them.

I've noticed in the media, and through experience, how Lots of people tend to blame God when things are challenging or go to God when their lives are a wreck. However, in good times, you may hear the same person thank their best friend or family member for making it possible. Sure you have variants on the two, but just thought I'd write a little something on how we as people direct our emotions and faith. :)

[i]Sorry for the late response as I had to undergo emergency surgery and am just now able to see a bit again. :)

Oh, hamgoof! I didn't realize it was you Ham-Ham! *Kush-Kush* Just cleared up a bit more after I replied and didn't recognize the avi. *Kushi-Kushi*

I hope you are doing well and I hope you know just how much I look forward to getting my eye back so I can check out all the awesome arts you've been up to. *Flutters* Oopa!

Np! Hehe. I hope your recovery is going very smoothly. Your comments have been sorely missed!

Awww! You are so cute! *big hug*

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. :)
