Thank You Softly, gently, in my mind, I whisper thus Your Name and ask that You look at me, for I am not the same, for You have entered my own heart, wrapped a golden chain from which You tug my conscience, no, I am not the same. You have been so wonderful, You ask me to believe You cause me to see the light, You ask that I not grieve; You’ve given me all treasures, You say You will not leave, You ask so very little, You only ask that I believe. You allow me to be human, and forgive my vast mistakes, You lift me up so gently, You will not let me break; and when You give me burden, You then raise me up; You’ve given me Your Son’s soul, to drink from this, Your cup. In my younger, youthful days, I sorely let You down, it was fine for others, that Your Son had born the crown and when I was in dark despair, I didn’t call Your name, for I would not have You look at me, I was not the same. But You took Your own good time, with such sweet, loving grace For me to see Your heavenly soul, for me to see Your face; to feel Your love uncommon, to me Your gifts you’ve shown and now I am so humbled, for in Your Love I’ve grown. Today I ask for guiding light, in wisdom I would walk Today I pray for others, ask that You even guide my talk; Today I give my heart and soul, to You and many others, and ask for love from my arms, to wrap ‘round my sisters and brothers. 6 June 2000 ©KRJ Sunshine ~~~Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow.

Sunshine - this is very moving - at first I didn't know to whom it was addressed, but you did a fine piece of writing in guiding me in that direction. Sweet Sunshine - very nice |

In the name of God, Godliness and Sheer Spiritual excellence, this one deserves a standing ovation.... Regards to you Karilea, Sudhir. Hey you, out there in the cold, Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me? Hey you, standing in the aisle, With itchy feet and fading smile, can you feel me? Hey you, don't help them to bury the light. Don't give in without a fight. Hey you, out there on your own, Sitting naked by the phone, would you touch me? Hey you, with your ear against the wall, Waiting for someone to call out, would you touch me? Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone? Open your heart, I'm coming home.... by Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) - The Wall |

Marcy, you are indeed a sweetheart...your comments fill me up and humble me at the same time. Sometimes I feel as if I do too little...but strive on, nevertheless. Hugs, Sunshine Sunshine ~~~Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. Helen Keller ~~~ |
