Elusive graspings for happiness:

Trying so hard to see the good in humankind,

Just praying for that butterfly's fervent caress

Disappointed again and again and feeling so blind,

Sadness is but a blink away from life's true joy

The pathetic thing is others need love as much as you,

So many you've trusted have treated you just like a toy

Yet deep seeded hatred is so hard to see through,

Remember compassion can help to clear one's mind

It takes every ounce of faith to avoid the valley of the blue,

We must help each other or paradise we'll never find

(big hugggsssssss) It's so very sad but true; we all must help each other in order to establish harmony for us all! (sigh) May we all join together and love each other and share the beauty of all the simplest things in this world! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet brother, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

*sigh* your words always help me, Sir Robert. I draw strength from you every time I see your name. Thank you for sharing more of the treasured strength with me today. **hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.
