Always < !signature-->When you need a shoulder to cry on, Remember that I have a warm embrace, Ready to offer comfort. When you think I’m being too tough, Remember that which does not kill you Makes you stronger. When you need a friend to listen, Remember that I am here for you, Always. When you doubt me, Remember that I once knelt at your feet, Washing them in service to you. When you lose faith in yourself, Remember that I never did, Nor ever will. ******* It matters not how strait the gate; How charged with punishments the scroll; I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. --W.E. Henley [This message has been edited by Tara Simms (edited 12-23-1999).] |

Tara, this piece is so powerful! I am thinking of a possible title....it may come to me in the middle of the night....and if it comes to me I will send you a quick message via icq..... I have felt that Spirit with me, many many many times, that wind when I was so hot when my car broke down when I first moved to Phoenix, that hand upon my hammering heart when I visited my friend in the hospital, an hour after her son died, that uplifting when I could not walk.... thank you, dear one, for reminding me I am a Life Purpose Coach who specializes in assisting men and women to clarify their Life Purpose and then in turn live true to their purpose. After 5 years working with the Severely Mentally Ill in County Mental Health, I gave up the bureaucracy (and safe, secure blanket) of this environment to pursue my own purpose and passion. |

Tara - This is a nice piece. What's wrong with just ~Always~ ... as the title? Someone is very fortunate to receive these thoughts from you. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Thank you all for your comments! After a long dry spell, they are very appreciated. I like "Always" as the title, I'm going to change it now. This piece is a Christmas present for one of my students. It matters not how strait the gate; How charged with punishments the scroll; I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. --W.E. Henley |

As I am late in the reponse....ALways is a good title to me as well. I was thinking maybe of calling it. "The Truth in Me" Just my thoughts. It is very good in any respect |

First Knight, never too late to add more compliments! Denise, thank you. It matters not how strait the gate; How charged with punishments the scroll; I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. --W.E. Henley |
