How far do I have to go?
What limits are there before me?
Will I ever come to know
or will this life just bore me?

How am I supposed to believe
when you say that you adore me?
Am I meant to hold or leave
the powerful hands that tore me?

We read the Bible every night,
we go to church on Sunday morn,
trying to learn by holy light
so we can be reborn.

We plant gardens of goodness and health,
sunflowers that will grow tall,
and we don't complain about lack of wealth,
but does it matter much at all?

So we keep playing the hand as God is dealin' it-
honestly, I'll admit, I'm just not feelin' it.

We work hard but have nothing to show,
waiting for the love to grow,
praising departure of the snow,
still wondering if I'll ever know.

the limits of our relationships are simply the boundaries of our love...those we set as barriers restrict, while those we observe as borders welcome...therein lies the difficulty, of recognizing which is which...my prayers (as well as others) go out to you...just do not let yourself feel all alone

Passing shadows - one just has to play it out until an answer comes forth. Wish you the best...

Almost some humor in that line.
Or maybe a lot, depends if you are on the receiving end or the delivery end.

Can we ever really appreciate the good times, if we have not endured the hard?

Life is a lesson, learned one day at a time.

Never stop learning.

Tracey.

The answer is always NO, Until the question is asked.
