I am a giver and receiver, a scholar, and a teacher I wonder when mankind will gain a sense of mind I hear a mother’s plea for a son to feel her near I see no blight on health in the realm of ever after I want to be the treasure discovered by a lover I am a giver and receiver, a scholar, and a teacher. I pretend I am the light when life heralds in the dark I feel mystical delight will triumph over strife I touch only on the outline of life’s deep mysteries I cry for love’s withdrawal from the center stage I am a giver and receiver, a scholar, and a teacher. I understand that time is the leveler of souls I say the bond of love exceeds mortality I dream of open hearts and simple honesty I try to stand upright when bombarded left and right I hope one day to be a reflection of the truth I am a giver and receiver, a scholar, and a teacher.

Sounds much like my Dad who died this Madri Gras Week - Especially the opening line. And I'm sure you can't be him reincarnated this quickly so I'm not gonna say .. "Hi Dad!!". Loved it and the memories it invoked. jwesley |

"I say the bond of love exceeds mortality" I have no doubt. Helen, this is wonderful and in my heart I feel it fit. *smile* |

"I touch only on the outline of life’s deep mysteries" A line I wish I'd written. |

"I pretend I am the light when life heralds in the dark I feel mystical delight will triumph over strife I touch only on the outline of life’s deep mysteries" ~ You took the words "write" out of my mouth! ~ Mind you, Bunches of Honey, you expressed them more eloquently than I ever could have. "I am a giver and receiver, a scholar, and a teacher." Thank you for giving us a beautiful glimpse of the beauty of you!  Love & Light, EA |

Thank you all so much for the read and your gracious comments. I'll no doubt be back after a breath of sea air. |

a breath of sea air... oh, I am there with you on that, in spirit... the "teacher" part made me smile, and think of my mother-in-law...for she shares your attributes... |
