Lessons Of Heart I could if I would to give you a fright Write of dark shadows crawling through night Or give myself up to the pain that’s within Talking to demons who rip at my skin If I were the sort who spoke of this hell That writhes in a soul, which doesn’t feel well But I’m not going to write of these things I’m seeking the place where happiness sings I could if I would let my soul sink down To cede to the thought to let it all drown I could give up this endless fight Letting my soul taste the despair of night Or ignore the voice that’s calling me Then watch my heart drown in hell’s sea But I won’t allow my heart to go there I’ll seek it a place to shelter in care I could if I would cease this weary strife Simply stop wading through this river of life Let the waves of sorrows crash over me Flounder unheeded in storm’s misery Or black out the light that shone so bright To wallow in sorrow through soul’s dark night But I won’t be walking that path once more I’ll learn lessons of heart that teach me to soar Marsha To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

And you will soar Marsha, much enjoyed this one! Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets. ~Arthur Miller |

But I won’t allow my heart to go there I’ll seek it a place to shelter in care .....it's up to us where we end up and where we choose to go, and how we cope in the here and now. Nice writing Marsha~ darling girl!!  Each word lifted a little higher off the ground. [This message has been edited by BluesSerenade (05-12-2002 01:45 AM).] |

Self Pity can be such a terrible way of taking the wind out of one's own sails.... NO Mushy, you certainly do not need to ever let yourserlf do that.... Bring out the strong wench...and get rid of all of it!!!!! |
