~*~

Turn not your eyes
from those less comely,
Close not your mind
to those things new,
Turn not your back
on they who need help,
And judge not they
Who differ from you.

See the beauty
in every person.
Open your mind
to learn things new,
Extend your hand
To aid another,
Accepting all,
Not just chosen few.

~*~

Littlewing ~

From reading your beautiful poetry and your loving replies, I know you are one who walks the path of Light. I must admit, that at times I may have slipped a bit into the shadows, but I pop right back into the sunlight because scary things lurk in the dark!

(big huggggsssssss) Oh Linda, this is so very heartfelt, sweet friend, I know just how you feel and agree with you wholeheartedly! It hurts me to see many judge a book by its cover and not look inside and get to read the person, I always make an effort to show love and listen to everyone and the only time I walk away and leave someone alone is when one is hypocritical or tells lies ever so much, where I still respect them and wish them well and forgive but just don't want anything to do with those who are dishonest! (sigh) This is very sincerely written, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Fantastic words, Missy Angel, and so filled with wisdom. Hon, I tried to pick out a line or two but each and every line stands out.

You have such a kind and loving heart.
