Mistaken Identity

There are many times I have been mistaken for something I am not. People mistake me as an ordained priest, but in fact, I am not. You could call me an actor who just happens to live the part. Admittingly I do most things a real priest would in their lives do, give comfort to the sick and dying and other things do. However please do not be mistaken that is not acting, its just part of my personality, something I have always done even before I got the part. Those who needed my words of comfort always seemed to find me, and I would never turn them away. Don’t ask me why I am this way; there is no answer I can give you. I hate to see suffering whether it be in friend or foe. I made a promise to myself a long, long time ago that if I could make someone smile each and every day, then I would be smiling too. There have been a very few times occasions when that promise has been broken, because sometimes I could not do it. They were mainly when great sadness caught up with me, but most of the time you will find me with a smile on my face and mischievous twinkle in my eye. That is because at heart I am something of a clown and a practical joker. One thing I am not and something I will never be is what many people call me, and that is an angel as there are too many faults that lie behind me. 14 August 2008
