Please Think me Some Thoughts Perhaps you could tell me what thoughts I should think For weight of confusion sways over the brink It’s hard to remember the rules I’ve been taught I need a companion to think me some thoughts Please tell me, dear friend, just how I should proceed I cannot determine my wants or my need And you are the one who could show me the light And mark out my footsteps in black and in white Deception has shrouded my heart and my mind And answers to questions I never will find So please make a blueprint depicting my life And show me the way through the mazes of strife No answers you offer to pain I must live Not one word of comfort or solace you give You think that the answers were already learned In battles I’ve fought and in scars I have earned You don’t stop a moment to think me a thought Or learm me a lesson that life should have taught You silently watch as my mind is confused As anger and gief and denal are fused Your silence contains all the answers I seek In my greatest despair, you don't even speak I thik I will do what I know to be true I believe I have found my true answers through you Please give me the strenghth that will help see me through Dear God, I will silently walk next to you Elizabeth Santos |

It IS in the quiet that we find the best answers...the ones from the heart. This touches me very much, Lady Santos, and it is with some pride in you that I say thank you for doing us so much good even through the pain... |

Life is not a dress-rehearsal No scripts written yet. No plots pre-ordained and what You see is what you get. No cue cards to guide the way. Director stands there mute Should you fall down in any scene S.A.G. sends no substitute. Impromptu is the rule of thumb Create lines as you go Adapt to any circumstance And onward with the show. Your character will find a way Through all your trials of stress For God is your Producer And will guarantee success. Act on, dear Liz, you're audience Is on their feet because You'll always be a heroine So worthy of applause...  |

Elizabeth, I do not have the eloquence or quick wit of balladeer but what he said is true. Everything comes from within the individual. Both questions and answers. What we would to happen and what does happen are two different things. We live a world and dream a world. I can offer no acupuncture to cure the body. I can only offer rainbows for the mind. But believe me when I say the mind will play a large part in any relief that is possible. You are in my mind and in my soul. You are a part of my whole. Love Ya Sy |

yes. . . the answers are indeed within us all. . . but, it's like I've always said, we need to find the questions first. . . well done my friend. . .------------------------------------------------------ To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

He's right you realize right? Impromptu is the answer, and always being "cool and collected" gives one an edge. Seems to me someone really smart said once, "kill them with kindness", and by now, I don't think you need to bring out the Raid to get rid of your bugs - they are doing a fine job of walking right into their own web. (Oh, this is just me on the sidelines on your stage, with a little coaching - but don't tell the "boss") |

Impeccable rhyme, Elizabeth,...not a forced one in the lot. It's easy to question our understanding and our ability to listen to the promptings of the Master. I tell you one thing, I definitely understand being tired of being the decision maker. Consequences bug me.  Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

I agree with Deer here (I don't know how in the world he comes up with this stuff so quick, just pours out of him I guess) ...and I love this write! Very good, and I'm putting it on my fridge so I can be reminded every day! |

Sunshine, It does get confusing when the are seval traumas going on at the same time, but I've just been working through one at a time and we are all coming out of this just fine. THank you for your kind words bsquirrel, thank you for the "WOW" Interloper, Yes, I am. Thank you Sy, thank you for your words of wisdom. I have more questions than answers but I realize that these answers may end up not being that important. I've stopped thinking of the things I can't change. Thanl you, dear friend Balladeer, How sweet of yoou. I know I can;t miss with you inthe audience. You have been a warm friend and I wish I had had the opportunity to talk with you, perhaaps next time. THank you for your support. What a lovely response you honor me with. Sven, you are right, healing comes from within, and I am doing great. Thank you Mysteria, Oh, girl, how you make me laugh!.I do keep my Raid handy just in case. This is classic YOU, thank God for that. You have renewed my spirit. Thanks, sweetie VAS, I think I'll just keep walking along with Him and carry a little can of Raid in my pocket. Thanks Passing Shadows, if you think the Balladeer is fast in writing a verse, I have witnessed him making up a poem as he was reciting it, and it rhymed evey time, asnd not only that, it was hylarious. He is truly full of it! A great poet. I loved his response THank you all Liz |

 (smiles) Yes, yes, all the answers of life will always rest in Him and He will always help you design the blueprint of your heart and lead you out of the maze to find your own stillness of heart! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Elizabeth, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Elizabeth, Oh the doubt that we all share, So many won't reveal that it's there. But you're not alone in the trials of life, Many of us are confused by the burdens of strife. But the source of strength that you chose, Means you surely can't possibly lose. So know that we care and we also seek, The truth you desire with heart so meek. You are not alone...just more honest! |

Thank you for your comments LarryC THanks for the little poem of comfort. I know when I look around me, I am among the very very fortunate for all the treasures life has bestowed me Liz |

This is one I'll be keeping for many re-readings... for line after line stirred echoes in my mind and heart... I just keep forgetting the resolution. *S* Thanks for the reminder. *S* |
