Race for the cure

Take thy body
see not the outside
but the love
that aches within

Take my hand
feel the care
know I do not judge
from the outside
but that I look within

Time is of the essence
beauty all around
the time you give
is the love I found
and all from within...

I don't know why I wrote this because I can't find any words these days, but this just wrote itself, my fingers burned with incredible heat and this came out...I'm not sure what it means, I felt it and so it wrote itself...

Must be from the love I feel from those that keep me warm with their thoughts, with their hopes, with their hearts....I just don't know...

HUSG

Don't judge a person by how they
look. I think this is something that needs
to be said more often. Thank you for
reminding us.

the beauty and love from within..
shows more than the outside skin...
inspired from within...
is always a good begin.

love it, Charisma

You were meant to write this RG, since it 'burned it's way' out of you. It's a very good reminder to look beneath the surface and see the REAL person. Someday, the race will not have to be run..there will be a cure. Keep smiling!

RainbowGirl~
This is certainly a lovely reflection of
how you feel ...

'the time you give
is the love I found'


Loving you and sending prayers that
others will find it in their hearts
to help run the race.

I did a little pre-race warmup last night, Little Chick... I knew I needed to leave on time so that I could pick up my race packet... so of course I had to stay late... even after working through lunch! LOL. And then I missed the bus... So by the time I got to my car, I had half an hour to drive across town. I took a page from yours and Lovey's books and floored it! LOL. By the time I screeched into a parking place, I had 5 minutes to make it across a huge mall (because you KNOW I'd parked at the wrong entrance! LOL) My usual pace is a waddle, but I hauled my substantial fanny across that mall at a full run... Of course, by the time I scooted through their closing door and collapsed onto the registration table, I couldn't get breath enough to tell them my name! LOL (Now I just need to get up at 4 am on a Saturday... yawn. *G*)

Maybe you wrote this for a friend you see more kindly than she could ever see herself. *S* Whatever the reason, it's beautiful. *S*
