Definition of respect at wannathink.com

A feeling of deep admiration for someone or something but not often given to those who deserve it:

the shy, the workaholics, the faithful; the ones you don’t see or hear but spread love and unselfish service.

Respect is life’s honored gift; life’s rare adoration; if sometimes given only to oneself.

Ah, Heck

Just a dot;

that’s me,

can’t you see?

I’m not cool like a tree;

nor fuzzy like a bee.

I’m not a dog or a lamb;

nor a Sam or a ma’am.

I’m not ugly like a toad;

nor pretty like a bow.

I’m not smart like a doc;

nor dumb like a rock.

I’m not successful or rich;

nor poor or in a ditch.

I’m not a glass or a can;

nor a body with a tan.

Just a dot;

that’s me,

can’t you see?

Really?

Can’t  expect respect;

when you’re a whiny speck.

Ah, heck.
