She dies each time you walk in the door
she cries inside; she needs something more,
than these things that you are giving
and this life that she has been living.

Her heart and soul long to be free
feeling these things; she can not be,
residing in darkness hidden to stay
afraid to step into the light of day.

She only wishes that you would know
she feels so stifled; she can not grow,
time after time she's cried her tears
you were not there to calm her fears.

She stands there rooted in the night
but strong she'll grow; each dawns new light,
and grow she shall like the mighty oak
her fears no longer will she cloak.

Someday ending her pain and this mime
and she shall live again; time after time.

absolutely beautiful....you are a true compassionate friend who allows yet, reinforces confidence and the importance of an individuals freedom and tranquility.  I believe Dixie is one very lucky gal...who eventually will reap a wealth of gifts from life.

yes she is, a beautiful person and giving friend.  She grows as we all do, and her strength, she shares even when she doesn't realize it.
Thank you Lee.
Thank you Dix....Hugs.

oh Donna...what can I say? Your love shines through and touches my heart. Thank you for reposting, I needed this. I'll keep it in my library for those lonely days when I need to feel like someone understands me.

You are precious.

Lee, thank you, for being there, being you

What a kind expression of support -- a great expression of compassion --

Susan

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
