If I could reach out and touch your heart I'd do it If I could offer you a kind word of love I'd do it If I could only help you see it's ok I'd do it And if I could take the pain from your soul I'd do it And if I could give you but a glimmer of hope I'd do it To show you that you are never alone I'd do it So take these words for what they are worth and I'll do it Can't really explain where this one came from....possibly from a long night of soul searching I lie awake in a world filled with dreams, but dreams can be so real when you don't know you're asleep |

That was just wonderful! I liked it a whole lot.  "Even a fool knows you can't touch the stars, but it doesn't stop a wise man from trying." Harry Anderson, "Night Court" *Cassandra Roseen* |

Jeffrey, Straight from the loving heart of a true friend. You know you've got them here. I loved this - really did. Lori ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean. Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens. Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance. And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance - I hope you dance. song by LeeAnn Womack ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
