A year ago today < !signature-->I took back my life Thanks to all the prayers of my family, my wife Feeling ever stronger as I stand before you now Knowing that that I have control That, through God, I am allowed Today I celebrate a freedom That most will never know A kind of liberation that gave back to me control The control to choose to live life day to day Knowing you're just behind me never to go away To be continued.... This one is pretty much self explanatory so I'll just say Thank you for reading All my love, Jeffrey I lie awake in a world filled with dreams, but dreams can be so real when you don't know you're asleep [This message has been edited by Jeffrey Carter (edited 05-29-2000).] |

The theme gets set ever so interesting with every few stanzas you put in...Jeffery and more positive... Regards, sudhir Life is like a painting, That in an art gallery is left hanging, Though many come just to look at it, A very few actually come to enjoy it. |

Jeffery, I am glad that you have choosen to journey down the path you are now walking, it took a lot of courage and strength to make that decision. Well done, wonderful poem. ------------------------ "Here chewing your tail is joy" Richey Edwards "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "Will you accuse me as I hide Behind these layers of disguise And the mirrors of my own happiness.I've loved the freedom of being inside Need a new start and a different time Something grows in the space between me And it's twisting and changing this fragile body" -Nicky Wire |
