On A Journey To The Unknown

0 posted 2002-02-27 07:44 AM



Being told you'll never succeed
At anything you want to do
After awhile you just give up
And you don't even try to

A kind hearted person like you
Just happens to come along
Encouraging me the way you do
Making me feel like I do belong

Giving me the inspirations
To help me break out of my shell
Always taking away my doubts
So with you how can I fail

I know you don't understand
Just how much it means to me
To get so much encouragement
As I have recieved from thee

I thank you for the confidence
You always seem to have in me
It's something I've never recieved
Not even from my own family

Good one

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

I love the line from "Hope Floats"  
"Childhood is what we spend our whole adult life getting over"
How true is that  : )

Sue this was so so heartfelt. As I have counseled some young ones who were neglected and this pulled at my heartstrings. What great expression. floria

SmartChick-
This is so beautiful and heartfelt.
Isn't it wonderful to have such a loving
and caring friend.  A friend like that is priceless.
Wonderfully penned piece of your heart.
Hugs,
