Standing here at the crossroads I wait and long to see Which path should I choose? Which one is right for me? Then I heard these words Before I made my start Floating on the gentle wind "Follow your heart" I started down my chosen path Not knowing where it would lead What dangers would I face? Would something grow from this seed? And still those words they sang Guiding me through the hardest part And putting my soul at ease "Follow your heart" So as you walk the path you've picked Remember this advice I give Keep it always close to you For as long as your soul shall live When you're standing at the crossroads And you don't know where to start Just remember these three words "Follow Your Heart. . . " ----------------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

The heart, a fragile thing, but one that I believe can be trusted in time of decision making. You penned this well my friend. May you always follow your heart and find the peace and happiness you so deserve and desire. Juls |

This is lovely... I'm not sure why it's dedicated to PDV... but I do know that her heart is one of the kindest and most compassionate in existence! |

Oh Sven, this is so beautifully written. I do so wish that it was that easy to do ... sigh. Perhaps I'll print this if you don't mind, as a reminder that someday, I might just take this wonderful advice. Very nicely done Sven! Best wishes, /Kit |
