As walking down
this road of life,
there are many who
cross paths with us
Some are loving
from their hearts
others aren't ever
genuine at all

These are always
pretending to feel
something they
really don't
Trying to be
something they
really aren't,
never real

Forever saying and
doing what is false,
a pretense of what
is really there
Acting ways they
think others want
them to, not how
they truly feel

Saying words to
please, not what
may be inside
their heart
They are false,
not real, just
a pretense of
what really is

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then there are
the loving ones,
so much compassion
in their hearts
Always helping
others, genuine in
what they may do, and
in what they may say

Never wanting to
hurt or discourage
people who cross
their path in life
Always caring
and loving
to those all
around them

Not just to please
others, but from
the depths of
their hearts
Feeling, caring,
helping, loving,
genuine, never false,
always real

I want to be
~~REAL~~
don't you?!?

I have found throughout my life time that your rings hold much truth....
and if it aint the real thing,
I dont want it!  Very well done Ethel.

(smiles) God Bless You, sweet friend, you are one of the most real people I've ever been blessed to know, and I can tell because of your unconditional giving and sharing of love for us, Gary, and everyone! (kiss on cheek) You are special, sweet friend, thank you for being YOU, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
