+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
I know not when the time shall come,
For me to head back home.
My soul does yearn for its return,
To end lost years of roam.

Searching, questing ~ always looking
For roads to higher ground,
But only foothills to His mountains,
Have I ever found.

Stay in the foothills for a while, I enjoy all your poetry too much to let you go drifting off.

it's a start right? wonderful thoughts to ponder....hugsss

I don’t want the world to see me
cause I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s made to be broken I just want you to know who I am

There are days when I long to be lost in the mountains, but merely stand upon the foot hill and weep.  But there are many days in which roaming the foot hills is a most glorious and joyful experience.  This voiced a deeper thought to me than perhaps intended.  Enjoyed.

Hugs - Susan

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Kind words from a kind and loving heart! I just have been sooooo busy with lots of big projects on the go and I know that if I pop into Pip, I have trouble pulling myself away from all that wonderful poetry and all you wonderful poets!

Love & Light,

Linda love, I think we would explode if we got too close too soon!  But, you send an essence of heaven out here, so I think you must be on the higher part of the foothills!  KBHBLY, jo

Ye be right, Lily One! I have managed to climb to the top of the foothills! ~ and the view is breath-taking! I can only imagine what I could see standing on the summit of God's Mountains!

Your bubbling personality is bubbaliscious! lol
