One More Step One more step through life I have taken, One more memory is mine to cherish. I have struggled a lot to spread my wings, But never have I let a dream wither and perish. No matter what happens, how tough life might seem, Life, for me, remains a sparkling dream. ~*~ I get knocked down by the hardships in life, But I rise keeping my sights on the stars. Failure only comes if you cease to try, I reach for the star which has kept me going thus far. The race we call life, with it's torrents and streams, Can only be conquered with a heart full of dreams. ~*~ Dreams are the light when night is at it's darkest, Dreams are the soft feathers in your soul's nest. Dreams are the caress you feel when you are alone, Dreams are the compass that will lead you home. Hey y'all!! Thanks for being such a great family of friends!! I am going to be away from here for quite a while but I will visit when I can. I am going abroad for a holiday and then school. I'll miss you poets so so much Don't forget me, ok? Love you all muchly!! Love and hugs, Lizzie "Poetry is the true expression of my soul, it is my ultimate means of communication. It is my rainbow of delight." |

You truly make me realize that the future of our great big world is in very capable hands ! God bless you, Lil' Lizzie~ What a very special friend I found in you.

I very much like the way you write. Your poetry seems to have a happy thought. It seems to me that you have many friends here who will miss you if you are gone too long. Hope you return with haste and grace us with more of these uplifting writes. *If the shoe fits ... the castle is yours* |
