for not standing up for yourself even if only for fairness sake... for holding it against him each and every time he was wrong yet you had not the strength to go against him... for all the nights you cowered instead of fleeing from this place... for the days you wasted hatred fueling your ability to make it through the day... for damage done and still not repaired... for hanging your hopes out to dry... for that moment you let go the tether and watched your dream fly... by clinging to a faith not yet proven or demonstrated you now want my forgiveness? why do you ask it of your own self? before you ask it of me have you not asked for and received it from your belief on high? does He not carry the weight you once did? shall you finally accept and let this go? Lord lend me the wings of the angels that I might fly free in thee [This message has been edited by jellybeans (12-10-2002 04:47 PM).] |

jellybeans, I am so glad it needed writing. As sparks fly up the chimney so do these words soar to heaven where grace is found. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

for that moment you let go the tether and watched your dream fly... For some reason, these lines reach out to me... too many crashes later. *S* Excellent write, lady... good to see you posting. *S* |

JB, this is a very powerful poem with lots of feelings and emotions pouring out of it. You know, writing does help healing to come faster, I believe.  "Love makes the world go around" |
