From every phase of life there is a lesson to be learned. We grow through each experience and receive what we have earned. There are times of happiness and joy and times of sorrow and pain. There are times when we lose and times when we gain. We try to choose with wisdom and pick our paths with care. We hope the decisions we make are honest and fair. There are times when we wonder what life is all about. There are times when we're down and begin to doubt. We make many mistakes and try to see where we went wrong. We use our experiences to help us grow strong. As we travel life's roads we learn the true meaning of wealth. It's not something of dollar value, it's love, happiness and good health. ...the earth and myself are of one mind. The measure of the land and the measure of our bodies are the same........... Joseph, Nez Perce Chief |

Thank you Jenni, Munda, Amy & Denise for your comments. I'm never sure about anything I write and all of you always make me feel glad that I've put my thoughts on paper. Thanks again. Sheila |

Sas, you speak poetic words of wisdom in this lovely work... an inspirational manifesto.. take care, jm Now for me some words come easy But I know that they don't mean that much Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch You never knew what I loved in you I don't know what you loved in me Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be jackson browne |

Sheila--you have managed to fit much of the wisdom of life in a very small space. I enjoyed reading this. "Unto thine own self be true, and it must follow as the night, the day; thou cans't not be false to any man."---Shakespeare |

Ah, the journey, you illustrate it so well by your word woven tapestry. Very Good! Dennis :^) Poetry is the expression of thoughts which awake the higher and nobler emotions, or their opposites, with words arranged to some accepted convention.........or maybe not! Dennis :^) |
