Love Of Life Or Choose To Be Dead My life has had times filled with such tears, so many it could create a mighty flow. Yet my face shows off a smile that could tame the angriest of foes. I have watched the sun rise and have of coarse seen many set, I know of they eclipse and the tales of falling stars, on at least one occasion I think time actually stood still. Yes I have walked a crooked mile and sprinted home to bed, paced the carpet clear throw just to be disappointed instead. I once gave my complete heart to someone just to have him give in back to me for another, tried it again hoping this will be it, but in life there are no guaranties just lots and lots of memories. Yes I’ve given birth and gone with them all the way through to the point I see me in their eyes doing what they think they should do. Outstretched hand I have earnestly given some grasped it in love and others in discontent, but I always gave freely my heart never in regret. I have stepped on well cared for rows were sleeping souls lay, and tapped on nursery room sills with the desire to play. I’ve opened packages in the store just because it looked good, and made sure to drop a little along the way for good luck I’m sure. Oh yes I have been blessed when I look towards the heavens happy or upset, always knowing the answers lay just ahead. Serenity in my heart, soul and head, this must be it to make me keep doing the things that I do, what else could it be the love of life or choose to be dead. By, Cerenity To All, I tried to get this to line up right but could not so I am sorry it looks bad. Cerenity "God doesn't have to be reminded that we exist. We have to be reminded that He exist!"

Cerenity, I particularly liked the last line. Good work Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

Hi Monique, Thank you dear, I try to get a beat but most of the time it does not work for me, have no rythem at all so dancing is out hehe. Hi Marge, Actually I got the idea from you, in your e-mail you said ( like you I like what I do,) don't ask me how this is the finished draft and doesn't it feel like at some points in our lives sad or happy time just stands still it does for me, thanks friend for your lovely words and I'll talk at you again. Hi Kethry, Yes life is what you make it they say but sometimes they get on my nurves saying that, because at some points I would rather have someone elses life, but for the most part I guess I like the one I have, thank you for your kind thoughts. Love, Cerenity "God doesn't have to be reminded that we exist. We have to be reminded that He exist!" (Writer Unknown) |

Just in real life the beauty lies within. Don't worry about the looks...it looks fine but within it is a most inspiring message and a lovliness that shines brightly. Wonderful flow and easy to get lost in. Loved it.  |
