moreover...

oh...i can delve in self pity for only so long!
i don't like this dark place! i seek the light!
to hear my daughter's laughter from thousands of miles away,
to see her smile through the distance...
this all by it's lonesome would be enough...
yet, there is more...
to know that i am gifted and sought for, for my views...
to know that i can make a difference in this crazy, crazy world...
i feel a power and a sense of responsibility...
for if i let this moment pass without so much as a peek into what is possible...
i will not only lose out on an opportunity for self growth...
i will have lost out on a chance to make a worthwhile impression on an already
deeply depressed world...
yes...i am that important...moreover...yes...
so are YOU...
