  YAY!!! Ooohhhhhhh...I couldn't agree with you more, sweet friend, I went through an entire boyhood being abused and I used to think I was born to be hated and never to be loved, but then I met a close friend teacher who went through all the same pain and he taught me to be optimistic and so now I share my love to the world everyday and ever since I know things can look up if you believe in yourself! (kiss on cheek) This is gorgeous, sweet friend, we all love you so so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lyra, thank you for sharing!   May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (03-03-2002 06:54 PM).] |

woeful despair breaks the spirit of even the mightiest ones in closing the curtains to future lifetimes come quickly undone survival can hinge on expectancy while building the castles of hope the mind can gather it's forces urging the body to cope Lyra~ How I love reading your words. I am needing some serious optimism in my life right about now. Thank you for this dear heart~ |

Noah...I can tell that you are a very optimistic person, by the way you write and reply to the poems of others...but, I am so sorry about your childhood abuse. There are many people with that experience who grow up to be very mean......but it seems to have made you into a very nice and sweet young man. I am proud of you for overcoming that. ((hugs))  copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |

Optimism is born in the heart seeds of life planted deep in the soul body and mind are united indivisible,unbroken,whole Wow! Lyra, you sure know how to get my attention. Of course you know that I am a super optimist. So optomistic that I cannot even contemplate failure or looking at the dark side of anything. I just think that one needs clarity of thought and patience, and the anything, I mean anything at all is possible. Of course we must be somewhat oblivious to time and space. As all things are part of God's plan. But we are promised that we will receive anything that we ask, seek or knock for. And I believe that this means spiritually. But the physical will always follow the spiritual when it is pure. Am I rambling? I do that a lot. Yes! There is nothing true but optimism! Pessimism is a lie. Period. At least that's my belief. Wonderful, wonderful poem, Lyra. You are a fantastic poet and I love you. A poetic reply? Why be pessimistic and guarantee a fail When there is always hope your ship will float and sail It makes good sense to always bet on coming light As closing doors will always guarantee a dark night. Always be optimistic! ((Lyra)) -newell Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com |
