Darkness from within Gloom from without I stare at these walls That have been placed around me In my head I see nothing Hear nothing Movement is not possible I keep running Yet I can never leave I scream out Yet my cries go unheard I can hear you Can you not see me You are telling me it's time to go You want me to leave I have others waiting to take me Home But I don't know where Home is Can you help me find my way I feel lighter now The heaviness is seeming to fade As the sun becomes brighter Or is it the sun at all I wonder Those voices Angelic choirs to my ears You are letting me go Allowing my Earthly bonds to go free I will be with you as you continue your journey Yet as I continue on mine And soon we shall all Bask in the eternal Happiness together When the morning cries and you don't know why... |

Brad, I have always wondered about something.....how in the world do people get through the loss of a loved one without having faith that there is a better place for them to go? My heart really goes out to those people who don't believe. This is really a great testimony of your faith, dear friend. ------------------------------------- I feel lighter now The heaviness is seeming to fade As the sun becomes brighter Or is it the sun at all I wonder Those voices Angelic choirs to my ears ------------------------------------------- and this... -------------------------------------- And soon we shall all Bask in the eternal Happiness together -------------------------------------------- A very beautiful poem, friend. Heart hugs to you and yours, Ethel |

Ethel- That is an extremely good question to which I have absolutely no good answer to. My soon-to-be ex-wife is an avowed athiest (actually, I think she's more the agnostic) and swears that her mother is going to a better place where there is no more illness and her pains will all be gone... I don't know. maybe it's a woman thing to be that contradictory. lol Thank you for the kind thoughts. Smart Chick- Thanks Martie- Right back atcha |

Brad: this is lovely - like how you intertwine the two thoughts . . . I do believe in angels - that at least can be something of a comfort if nothing else (a woman thing . . . grrr . . .lol) xxoo |

The fact that you still care for your mother-in-law in spite of the soon-to-be...says a lot for your character... a good write, Ringo... compassionate...caring. |

beautiful & well written - may you find comfort & solace as you share and as far as understanding women I think we have a better chance at understanding god & eternity - lol I'll never understand them but I appreciate these earthbound angels who bring heaven to us hey between yours & littlewings responses I think you both inspired my next write - lol [This message has been edited by dreambuilder (04-21-2003 12:00 PM).] |

I always seem to get a headache lol Sue- Thank you vandana- Thank you KS- YES, A WOMAN THING... You got a problem?? lol When the morning cries and you don't know why... |
