~Words For The Soul~ < !signature-->-Amy M Kennedy For every rhyme There is a reason Life is full of change Like the passing season Fate and destiny are keys To doors that may be locked And love is the power To open emotions previously blocked Chains can wrap a soul True love can set you free Nothing is impossible If you just truly believe Life is full of ups and downs But if you hold on tight You will be freed from darkness And walk through the shining light When all hope is lost And you think that you're wrong A true love or friendship Can show you the way and help you along The past and the future Are a part of who we are But doesn't mean it has to hold you back From touching a star SO.... Take a moment And let your soul dance Throw caution to the wind Sometimes we have to take a chance Turn up the music Stop and smell a flower Bask in tides of love Feel it's awesome power Live each day to the fullest As though it was your last Live in the present Don't be consumed with the past No matter how bad things are There's always a silver lining And if you can do these things You'll see one day...your heart will be shining "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends." "Fate exists but it can only take you so far, Because once you're there It's up to you to make it happen." [This message has been edited by Aimster (edited 06-26-2000).] |

"Chains can wrap a soul True love can set you free" I definitely believe this to be true, Amy...this is very nice! ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

There is much wisdom here! God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown |
