Gaining Confidence
~ By Sue ~

I got a new job, closer to home
The pay is alot better, than before
My hours could not be more perfect
My life is a little better, once more

This little old lady took baby steps
As we walked down the hall
I held on to her small delicate hands
Just to make sure she did not fall

Her mind drifts to another place
And she talks when no one is there
She sleeps all day on the sofa
Still, I let her know that I care

There is only one who is there
Who seems to have no trust
To gain her confidence
Is something that I must

I'm sure if anyone can gain her confidence it will be you, Sue!
Hey good to read you here again girlfriend!
Great to hear about the new job and better hours!
You're movin' on up girl!

~The breeze that kissed you on the face,
    Has held me in the same embrace~

Sue, with all that tender loving care you're
giving her, I'm sure that you will gain her
confidence real soon!!  

I'm so glad to hear about your new job that's
closer to home. Maybe you can come "home" to
Passions more often now. We sure do miss you
when you aren't here, sweet Lady.  
Hugs  
Ethel

Sue I'm so glad for you and gaining confidence shouldn't be a problem I think. She soon will find out what a nice lady you are.
