"Full many a gem of the purest ray serene, the dark unfathomed caves of the ocean bear. Full many a flower that blooms unseen and wastes its fragrance in the desert air" a verse from "Elegy in the Country Churchyard" by Thomas Gray. Are you that gem or are you that flower? What is it that you have done which is not recognised?

Whatever I have done that may not be recognized by man, I believe that there's someone who sees. Nowadays, I prefer that what I have done may not be recognized by those eyes but I want to do what is right whether man may recognize or not. I have realized that many people want to be recognize all the time. That is the reason why when a person does something to help others, usually, the press are invited to watch the event and let that little thing be known unto men.

hi allknowing I always loved that poem, its so great and I love poetry anyway. I have written short stories and poems and a novel but have never ever been published.it got so expensive to mail out my writing and also to get so many refusals I gave up after a awhile. I do love to write and I keep writing but no one sees it but me.
