The Difference

When love is but a fantasy that brings you to your knees
And dreams are the foundation for your greatest memories
When anything seems better than your own realities
Just keep believing - see the endless possibilities

When thoughts of non-existence find a birthplace in your head
And all that's found within your heart is misery and dread
When no one hears the lonely cries and words are left unsaid
Remember that tomorrow's sun is rising just ahead

When skies grow dark and angry with the flash of lightning's hand
And thunder roars it's savage voice in lack of understand
When rain begins it's beating with the force of reprimand
Denuded, dance within it's wrath - your moment to command

Though yesterday is over, with the morning comes a choice
So make the diff'rence - give yourself a reason to rejoice


~Vicky L. Raynes


When the power of love overcomes the
love of power the world will know peace.
-Jimi Hendrix

Vic - another beauty . . .

and I am so proud of you
have I told you this?

When rain begins it's beating with the force of reprimand
Denuded, dance within it's wrath - your moment to command


Yes, dance as if the world was yours for the taking
because  . . truly, it is
Love you, my sis
I do I do

Vicky, I hope you rejoice in knowing how much of a difference you make, to all of us!

“When no one hears the lonely cries and words are left unsaid
Remember that tomorrow's sun is rising just ahead”

Things that one can depend on, can be of great comfort. Like the dawn of a new day. And, the optimistic compassion in your heart...

Genuinely Inspiring!

Richy
