This is about Shy Lady and my concern for her. This is how this
came about.
Love Bon-Bon


An Innocent

An innocent in so many ways.
Hidden under protective wings
and encircled with love.
In her diary of life-
She has been sheltered
from life's stormy shores.
His words wrapped in trusting smiles
and
his words caressing with a silvered tongue.
These words taking her down
untraveled paths and dimly lit highways.
Her eyes open, but does she see?
Is she blinded by the hypnotic lights
and
the swirling carousel of unknown mysteries?
Are the words she hears true of heart
or
words masked within shaded smiles
and
twinkling laughter?
A more prudent friend stands in the background
sending a prayer to the heavens above.
Dear Lord.
Please protect this
loving,
gentle innocent from the wicked ways of the world.
Surround her with your
loving arms and guide her down these
new paths with loving-kindness.
Protect her trusting heart
and trusting ways.
Please protect this child,
this child of God,
this loving, trusting innocent.

Love Bon-Bon

I believe shy is a virtue...and a quality which is innocent and lovely...it's just a shame that there are those out there who are shall we say, not so nice people, who would take advantage and use that quality, drain it...and actually not understand it...trying to use it, and or take it away, b/c they admire that quality...yet break it down if they can.  But the good news is...there are still in this world a lot of wonderful people who would recognize that quality as a great gift and friend....with your prayers and the prayers of others, hopefully those whom cross this woman's path will recognize her as a great asset, and not try to take advantage of her.  

Thank you for writing, but more so, for your caring heart, prayers and good will towards your friend.  Someday, lady, someones going to come along and realize the great treasures you harbor.  And he'll be a very rich man for having you in his life.  

It's like the fisherman who goes out to catch that big one....but...upon cathing him, decides to throw him back...instead of keeping that fish....now my friend, you wrap that up with the long-legged postman, and you've got a treasure...smiles and hugs...and love to you always.
