My heart explodes
like footprints on a vacant path,
when my yesterday collides with my now,
making you question my tears,
reject my pain.

Because I cannot paint
a portrait of my self-esteem,
laying in the pit of a snake's belly,
you believe that I am selfish,
jealous,
and wihout faith.


 Grant that I may not judge my niegbor until I have walked a mile in his moccasians

Native American prayer

Firefly..I have been good MOM how about you? From your message I take it you knew a guy who liked to say "bloody hell too"

Wiz...Thanks so much for the sweet reply. I tried to submit this before. But did something wrong!!

Anyway, you did cheer me up!  
The last time I attempted to ride a horse anywhere I was 11 years old and it took off into the woods where I was lost for hours. Later, my "Dad" found me and was very angry that the prized horse was missing for so long. This is true..but was a good predictor for things to come as well.
