The past is done as you have said But still it plays within your head To rob you of all rest and peace To hold you fast with no release But think on this, He's always there To take your burden and your care He saw it all when on that cross To cleanse us from our filth and dross Just think on Him, how much He gave When phantoms once again enslave Just tell them that you have a friend Who'll not forsake you in the end And tell them plainly to get lost Because for you He paid the cost! --------------------------------------------- Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:7-8 < !signature--> Denise And slight is the sting of his trouble Whose winnings are less than his worth; For he who is honest is noble, Whatever his fortunes or birth.~~~Alice Cary, ~Nobility~ [This message has been edited by dsnyder (edited 01-16-2000).] |

Lovely poem with an equally lovely message. Nice. ~Astraea "Sometimes stars can only be seen in darkness." "Sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier things." |

Thank you all for reading and for your kind comments! I always appreciate the time you all take to read and comment! Beautiful picture, Nan! I love it! Thanks Elizabeth, you are so sweet! I've fallen way behind in reading and commenting the past two days...don't know if I'll ever get caught up now!! I'll give it a try though! Denise And slight is the sting of his trouble Whose winnings are less than his worth; For he who is honest is noble, Whatever his fortunes or birth.~~~Alice Cary, ~Nobility~ |

Denise...thank you for this excellent reminder. We can do nothing to change the past, but we can learn from it and go on. If He has forgiven us our past, so should we. Thank you my dear friend, I needed this today |

As always a nice poem, sorry I'm late Forgive And now I'm in a hurry too The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |
