No Room for Pretenders

It is a waste to pretend to be something I am not, because I am missing out on the rewards of this program. To start walking the way I talk, I need only the willingness to ask for help. -- For Today, August 12

Talk the talk without walking the walk
and you're full of poppycock, just empty squawks.
Instructors are neither needed nor heeded
but exemplars, whether polished or tarnished
if good hearted but sometimes thwarted
will find kindred spirits, brothers and sisters.
a family to choose, to hold to, and never loose.
