Hanging Onto Faith
~ By Sue ~

It seems
I have struggled
my whole life
just to feel
some kind
of worth

There are times
when I think
I was born with
some kind of
awful curse

It seems like
no matter
what I do
I can never
succeed

What little bit
of faith
I do have
I work hard at
trying to keep

Hoping there will
come a day
when I will have
someone here
who will help me
through each day

If only to eliminate
some of these fears

Sue,
Hang in there girl, none of us like being alone. And I know it isn't the same but we believe in you. Courage.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Hi Sue!
You know..you may feel this way now..
But you sure have come a long way gal!
And, I for one am real proud of you.
Hugs~Nancy

a moment of truth and clarity
we can relate to when we are feeling human

Would it be too cliche to say I'm right there with you? Because I am. It's hard to keep going when you feel like you're getting nowhere. But I have a feeling it's not as hopeless as it seems. Keep hanging on.

Dear Sue, your heart speaks a language we all understand, because every now and then it happens in everybody's life.
Keep your faith. You are strong.

All my best for the realization of your intentions!

Love and hugs.

gotta have faith, in god and in ones self and others.  

My spirit will rise

There will be no drowning
of my soul or me~

Oh, Sue, this aches of loneliness. I am wrapping my arms about you and sending you lots of healing hugs of love and friendship.

I understand such lonliness for I have gone through periods of that as well in my own life.

I would like you to look into a mirror and see the beautiful, kind, and loving woman that others see. You are deserving of the love for which you seek. First love yourself and like a beacon of light you will attract someone who is worthy of you.

Please remember that Light attracts Light! Let your own Light shine, Dear One!
