Dear God
   help me to
unlock these chains
wrapped tightly
around my heart

give me strength
  to free my soul
and live freely
as I please

I ask you
   to light the
way upon the
dark roads that
I travel

to find
understanding
   within this
cluttered mind

and peace so
   that I may love
unconditionally
     with every step
    and breath
that I take

release me of
my selfishness


Amen.

Serenity, I was stunned as to how you knew it was birthday, until you told me, so a little white Dove told you, hey.
Thanks so much for your kind wishes and no I don't mind sharing it with you at all, hmmm little miss Gemini, should I know you  ?

Happy birthday Serenity!

Happy Birthday! This was simply a
beautiful and heartfelt prayer. I am
sure God was smiling down upon you
when he heard the words. Keep the faith
my friend. He listens, and in time things
will turn around for the best. You gotta
just believe

Because once you're there
It's up to you to make it happen."

So sad and wistful Dark Angel.
I could feel a wanton loneliness in it.

There can be no peace without acceptance, and  no acceptance while bound in guilt..it is not selfish to want these things.the chains that bind you are cast from guilt.
Another great read. Thank you.
