a matter of belief "you… are all I want," he said and she believed, oh she believed until the night she walked the floors she believed until he came in through that door she believed until she said "tell me the truth," and with the slamming of the door she believed in never more… time and time went on and passed and she gave in again to a thought of believing in together and the idea that she could believe sprang forth again, ~ reaching, reaching ~ for the light and she believed in the light but more this time she believed that she wouldn't crumble if there should be another reason to not believe and as the shattering took place around her feet once more, she didn't criticize herself (as that had already been done) but instead she began to believe in herself and in the thought that He created her for a reason and for a season and as a gift for someone so she believed in that… that she would be a gift… to someone she hasn't been totally unwrapped yet… but someday… one day… someone will see a package ~ who knows what color the wrapping will be… ~ a shroud of black to mourn? a dress of responsibility worn? independence wrapped in green? perhaps in the white of light… and there will be a slender ribbon that with a tug or a pull of love will let loose the gifts within for everyone is someone's gift and no one should ever look the horse in the mouth but be grateful for the wrappings of the package if it comes into your hands… and then share in a belief… that dreams can come true… and that you can get what you wish for… so here is the key… believe… slightly revised...from 02.01.01 |

"but be grateful for the wrappings of the package if it comes into your hands… and then share in a belief… that dreams can come true… and that you can get what you wish for… so here is the key… believe…"  (big hugggsssss) Oh Karilea, thank you, thank you so much for writing this wonderful heartfelt piece, since going through the heart of depression when I was longer which I wanted to escape so much, I now believe conquering that I believe so much can come true as God is my witness! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you!

woohooo! yeah baby good poem love it love it man ohh man haven't we all been crushed a time or two and felt like the celophane crapping that comes round the present and is tossed away? or haven't we all felt like the wrapping itself after it's been torn apart...but boy oh boy think of the time taken on a beautifully decorated christmas gift or birthday gift or whatever...somebody really cares about you if they tie ribbons around their presents...they've taken the time to dress it up just right. I love this thought provoking well written and heart tugging sad/happy/sad/peaceful penning. thank you for sharing it glad ta read ya, geenabee |

It really is about yourself and belief in one self, knowing that one day....someone will come to open that wrapping and find the charm and beauty of you inside... Then....they will NEVER stop appreciating the gift that has been given...not for the taking, but for sharing... |
