Live to Love |

I live to love. To fill people's lives with joy unspeakable To empart courage To the disenchanted I live to Love. To speak to a person what they so need to hear To give a smile to someone in a dark situation I live to Love. Speaking peace to someone who is standing in a shifting boat Cast aside by the storms of life About to be capsized by the waves I live to Love. To hold open my heart Lay it bare for all to see. Now only if I had someone, Who lived to Love me. |

I understand it completely, jfreak! I've felt that way myself so often and you have captured it so well. Thanks. ------------------ *Elizabeth* "Dwelt a maid belov'd and cherish'd by high and low, But with autumn leaf she perish'd, long time ago..." |

I agree with Elizabeth,"you have captured it so well".It warms my heart to know there are others out here that still feel this way too! ------------------ May your days be filled with lots of sunshine and your nights lit up by golden moonbeams |

Um...what do you mean by the above comment? ------------------ *Elizabeth* "Dwelt a maid belov'd and cherish'd by high and low, But with autumn leaf she perish'd, long time ago..." |

Hi Elizabeth....What I was trying to say is that sometimes the world feels so cold and uncaring;people often do not take the time or even care to take the time to make someone else's day. ------------------ May your days be filled with lots of sunshine and your nights lit up by golden moonbeams |

Oh-whoops! While I was reading this, Pepper, I didn't even see your posting (notice we submitted at about the same time). I was actually talking to jfreak and wondering why he was saying "no thank you". If you can answer my question, jfreak, please do so! ------------------ *Elizabeth* "Dwelt a maid belov'd and cherish'd by high and low, But with autumn leaf she perish'd, long time ago..." |
