I'm learning to live, a day at a time sometimes an hour or a minute is fine I know how to hide, don't know how to shine so I'm learning to live, while I'm in my prime I'm learning to live, I know how to die to take all the blame, sacrifice my pride I know how to cover the hurt deep inside, but I'm learning to live and to reach to the sky. I'm learning to live with face to the sun so my darkness goes, not wrapped in my tomb I'm correcting mistakes made in the womb with no power of my own, but the love of the one I'm learning to like me a little more accepting my failures, my consuming flaws learning there's peace beyond personal wars and I'm learning to trust, to open the door. I'm learning to live, each day is a struggle but moment by moment, though my head is spinning praise is so heady, I'm victory winning I'm heartsick sometimes and just need a cuddle But moment by moment I'm forging ahead conquering my fears, overcoming my dread although my scars of body and soul are not dead I'm living and learning, from others I'm fed I'm learning to live beyond hate and pain accept, that I'm given this life for a plan moving horizon's and stretching the span and I'm learning to live, all over again. < !signature--> "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."- [This message has been edited by Kethry (edited 08-25-2000).] |

"...moving horizon's and stretching the span and I'm learning to live, all over again." Wonderful...we all do that, some of us time and again, unfortunately. But if we keep our heads up, as this so truly does, it's a little easier to stand. jwesley |

Sandra - thanks for your kind words. They are always appreciated coming from you. Glad you liked the format I was trying something a little different but it seemed to work. Jwesley - thank you for quoting my words back. It's always great when someone remembers long enough to do that. Dawn - I am but a candle to your great light and I am learning from you. Thank you.

You're right Maureen, I need a training stool to get over my hurdles. Unless I have a kind someone, who can toss me over.  Luckily there are people like that at passions and yes, people to catch me on the other side. Thanks for the kind words and soft smiles, they are always welcome.Keth.

the most important thing a person can do is never stop the fight for life...your words should inspire and create hope for people...I am with you on this one all the way. Don't care what people say Just follow your own way Don't give up and use the chance To return to innocence. -Enigma |

"and I'm learning to trust...to open the door." This is an issue I have been dealing with lately...it can really affect the way you view another person...James |

James you're right about how hard it is, but hard is not impossible and in opening the door the first little bit's the hardest. Be well 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."- |
