Rushing into uncertainty
Darkness surrounds so blindingly
Always this straining just to see
the outcome of eternity

Blowing kisses in icy breeze
while hoping they will never freeze
in their journey through troubled trees
so they can meet their destinies

Why, oh why, is so much unkown
In life and love we're left alone
The future sits on God's great throne
and answers not to flesh and bone

(smiles) Awwwwwwww, this is soooooo beautifully bittersweet, sweet friend, I too can't help but cry when I feel confused and baffled by what the future brings, but I always claim to believe that He always has a plan for us all, for there is nothing to lose when it comes to having faith! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, always hold your dreams close and they will come true! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Bonnie, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

yes, we're all looking for the answers, but life is really just that roulette wheel, after all..........loved this!

The road goes on forever, and the stories never end!

Sometimes the wheel seems to spin out of control. But I guess it must know which way to go.

I loved the message you contained in this, as life is truly like a wheel, and I guess the trick is to never bet too much?

The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.
