Today is a day of change for me I'm no longer looking back I'm going on to find my destiny My future to atack No more waiting for things I've left behind No more living in the past I know someday I'll find true love In the meantime I'm gonna have a blast ******************************************** Thank you Ruth for your beautiful words they made me look into my heart and find myself |

Cool... enjoying the time you spend without that true love will make it go by MUCH faster... just don't let it all go by so fast that you look back one day and go.... "Eeek! I'm getting to old to pick and choose!!!" My father told me that not to long ago and I'm only 24!!!! I think he's just picking on me though... I'm not settling for less than what I want just yet. =) Actually I probably never will, I just die a lonely old man playing checkers with his friends if she's not out there. "The storm rises up when the shadows descend every beat of my heart every day without end I will stand like a rock I will bend till I break till theres no more to give if thats what it takes I will risk everything I will fight I will bleed I will lay down my life if thats what you need every second I live thats the promise I make" I have no idea who wrote this... tell me if you know. =) |

WhiteNite, I now believe that sometimes you don't have to have true love to be happy, but it wouldn't hurt. I also believe there is someone out there for each of us. We don't always pay close enough attention to the signs and true love can slip right through our hands. Just have fun looking. Jeffrey |

Jeffery...why thank you I'm honored to have inspired this in what ever small way I did. Nice poem and we can never go back, only forward. I hope you find what you're looking for, just remember...sometimes what we look for has been infront of our face from the beginning, we were just to blind to see it Ruth To love means never to be afraid of the windstorms of life: should you shield the canyons from the windstorms you would never see the true beauty of their carvings. ~Elizabeth Kubler-Ross |

~luxury~ do you understand that love is a luxury not a thing needed for life like air and water and food and shelter love is canned and bottled and processed and customized only to make life easier nice one Jeffrey...I hope you find your luxury in life...keep up the positive attitude!

It's time to move on...(As Jeffrey Carter said) I think I'll take some Ex-lax, (my stomach feels like lead) Now I'm running outta luck, Got behind this chicken truck, Exlax is working, gotta move on, down to the truck stop and hit the john. Mr. Carter, you're poetry's great, keep up the good work, you're really first rate. Welcome to Passions, you'll love the folks here, But watch out for LongJohn and the damned Balladeer! |
