Life is complex That there is no doubt There are times of peace and quite Other times when you'll want to shout Happy times and sad As the days of our lives mix together Thinking we have so much time That our lives will last forever Each obstacle we face We have a decision to make that day To stand up and fight Or simply run away Be strong and reach for our dreams Or hide and just give in If you try your best in life It doesn't matter if you win Each lesson teaches us something new We learn something we've never known Obstacles though ever mounting Serve as stepping stones Those stepping stones make us who we are They shape the person of you and I If you don't take the time to enjoy life It surely willl pass you by There is an old saying Of what doesn't kill us will make us stronger I truly believe that with my heart So I will fight for a little longer Perhaps the day will come When there will be stepping stones no more But an optomist I am from the heart I'll just choose another door... ***just a little something i've been thinking about...sorta a combination of different "lessons" in life i've learned over the short years I've been around.  "A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words." |

Yes indeed Amy girl! What a treat this was to read a hopeful poem from you! Well, I'm an optimist too and I love your message, it's very inspirational. Call 1-800 Hallmark cause the world needs something like this! Just wonderful, I really love this. We all need stepping stones to reach our destiny and to know ourselves betterTake care, Melissa |

'There is an old saying Of what doesn't kill us will make us stronger I truly believe that with my heart So I will fight for a little longer Perhaps the day will come When there will be stepping stones no more But an optomist I am from the heart I'll just choose another door...' Yep Aims...that's you alright! Definitely. Great write, m'friend. Glad you shared this today, especially after the WONDERFUL day I just had...  sp 'cause I want nothing more than to sit outside heaven's door and listen to you breathing... |

Not only was the message wonderful but the flow of the words carried me through. Great job here! "I walked beside the evening sea and dreamed a dream that could not be." George William Curtis |

This is what I've been needing to read in my present mood or state of mind. It doesn't cure it, but it sure does help my thinking process and reassures me. Thanks for the wonderful work!
