Once upon a time you were my rock
but now I have come to realize
that through the passing of time
the hardest stone can be compromised

As the years slowly slip by
and cycles of seasons spin around
even the most solid of rocks
can be c r u m b l e d to the ground.......


ain't it funny?
I think it's funny.
I'm gonna laugh
until I don't cry honey,

cuz sheddin tears just ain't my style...
but I guess I ought to miss you....
for a little while....{Toby Keith}

Yep.  A steel spine is better
in some than in others...
and some are totally without
altogether.

Good write, m'dear.

time and weather seems to crumble all eventually.. but some stones are more prone to being eroded than others.. some bear weight with grace and others crack under stress..

hard to know which you are building a foundation on sometimes

some walls go up,
and others come down.....
but all things can crumble...
Thanks ya'll....




It was like a lighted match had been tossed into my soul
it was like a dam had broken in my heart
after taking every detour, getting lost and losing track
so that even if I wanted to I could not find my way back..
after driving out the memory
of the way things might have been,
after I'd forgotten all about us....
the song remembers when....Tricia Yearwood.

Donna...it is some times easier to see the truth of little pieces...so hidden is the fragile nature inside a rock.  I enjoyed this thought filled write.  Hugs!

(big hugggsssssss) This is so very true, sweet friend, and I would prefer not to be a rock, steel, or metal anyway as they can feel so hard and uncouth when one really needs a soft place to rest ones head! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Donna, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I understand!

~*~
In your light I learn how to love
In your beauty how to make poems
You dance inside my chest where
no one sees you and that sight becomes art
