My foresight and reality are one, I cannot divide them in two, you see; They help me as I look toward the sun, Foresight, reality and I are three. My heart tells me no, look back to the past, I calm my heart with tenderness and care, And say there is a future unsurpassed, If we but reach for it, it will be there. This inner struggle has cost us a lot, The pursuit of the beyond scares us both, Still, it's not too late a dream to be sought, A paltry weed needs the sun for its growth. We wake up and look for the morning light, From it we ascend to infinite heights. ~*~ It's not that the man did not know how to juggle, he just didn't have the balls to do it. ~*~ |

Jerry,While in this mood go further. Some of the sweetest times in my life were from age 65 to 72 when I had a chance to be with some one who was really able to share his feelings and helped me to feel was really loved. (Shhhh this is a secret from me it you, but true) best to you. jo |

That is a very sweet thing to hear, Jo. I happy you had that in your life. I'll be turning seventy-six in a little over a month from now. ~*~ It's not that the man did not know how to juggle, he just didn't have the balls to do it. ~*~ |

"Even a paltry weed needs the sun". So many profound thoughts here. This one I chose speaks the loudest to me and I'm only half-way up that ladder you're on. Really enjoyed reading this. Touch, but don't look |
