Nerves

It’s as easy as pie when it’s someone else’s choice

But when it comes to me

I’m all of a flutter; I faff about, stumble

Over my words, words that should be so simple but

When push comes to shove, I am left open-mouthed

Astounded by my own lack of communication

The frustration is, I know…I think I know…

I can’t do this!

My nerves jangle and wrangle

My feet pound up and down

Clammy hands,

Beads of perspiration form and trickle down my face

Their salty taste makes me shy

But why?

It’s not rocket science!

I can hear their internal voices

Voices telling me to speak up, speak up,

SPEAK UP

It’s now or never.

“I’ll have the ice cream, please”

There's always stuff in life we're not sure of. I'm thankful , and eternally grateful, to have a love for God. Yes, I've put my life, my family, my everyday existence, into God's more than capable hands. Some would say I'm mad, some would pooh pooh the idea... As General Melchett once remarked in Blackadder Goes Forth.."You know, if there's one thing I've learnt from being in the Army, it's never ignore a pooh-pooh. I knew a Major, who got pooh-poohed, made the mistake of ignoring the pooh-pooh. He pooh-poohed it! Fatal error! 'Cos it turned out all along that the soldier who pooh-poohed him had been pooh-poohing a lot of other officers who pooh-poohed their pooh-poohs. In the end, we had to disband the regiment. Morale totally destroyed... by pooh-pooh!" So, have a read, have a think. I don't have all the answers, but I know a man who has ;-)
