Carried Forth

20 June 2006


Contentment,
honour, beauty
was this love

Her heart the soul
her being, beauty
Just to know
if to understand

With eyes a window
this mercy she does behold
Carried forth in open will
this desire, giving in kind

Such wonder, an enlightenment
would she love, would she take him to her side
Together content, apart in misery
was this love, and could it ever be


The Libra child is a born diplomat, a peace-loving sort who wants everyone to get along.
The Libra child can be fickle and indecisive at times, in having a tendency to see all sides
of an issue! A born mediator, he or she is a sensitive individual and likes to be shielded
from the unhappy side of life, at times content to live with illusions.

The Libra child loves beauty, colours, music, and the arts. If not talented in the arts, he or
she will deeply appreciate them. Libras often show a great sense of sympathy toward people
and are good at using tact. A Libra is likely to be an attentive listener who shows genuine
compassion for others.

I very much enjoyed your poem and the description of Libra's child!

There would be more balance in this world if everyone had a bit of the Libran in them!

It certainly describes her in showing compassion for others

Only I just never saw it that way, as if the footnote was an after thought as always

Shame she was in New Zealand 6 months ago and I'm not Canadian, and our path only crossed two weeks ago

then that's timing for you - or just getting personal on my part

I think you might have opened my eyes even more Linda, with your kind words

Then she was not born in Canada either, just happens to live there
