People find hope in the strangest of places In the song of a poet In the music of the wind In a glimpse of a tear In a softly spoken word They are filled with a sense of HAVING ONLY POSITIVE EMOTIONS They carry on through all thier pain Always keeping heart Always carrying hope Believing in dreams Trusting in something more Something that is FOUND ALL IN THE HEART They are the ones who find their strength Not in words but in deeds Not in symbols but in serenity Not in power but in peace And they are there by GIVING REMEMBERING ACCEPTING COMMITTING EVERYTHING And the greatest of these LOVE |

I ditto Suns reply... very well done girlie-girl jm When to the sessions of sweet silent thought, I summon up remembrance of things past ... I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought. ~Shakespeare~ |
