A Question Of Beauty Or?? < !signature-->Does a question always have to an answer to find? Are nights’ endings always by dawn’s beauty signed? Is the warmth of the sun held in a flowers’ heart? And the miracle of life where does it actually start Does the ocean wave begin or just continue ever on If you listen carefully can you hear the winds’ song? Should I seek any answer or shouldn’t we even look For these answers are somewhere they’re in HIS book Beauty can fill your heart and enrapture your soul But would you still see it with no food in your bowl If you hunger and have meager food for you to eat Would you still wonder at beauty see it as a treat? Or would the fact that your eyes burned with pain Make you only wonder if you would ever eat again Wouldn’t a beautiful sight to you be fields’ of corn? Knowing that the child had a chance to be born Music can inspire many lifting spirits up on high But what use is it when it can’t stop one child’s cry It can stir the heart and it inspires many great deeds But music can’t help you it doesn’t fill hungers needs If you have to exist where each day you fight to live What use is music when it hasn’t food or drink to give Before we say we’re unlucky we have no leisure time Remember you have plenty and the chance to dine I’m not saying beauty has no place where we exist But I ask how many of us have felt starvation’s kiss When we sleep in a bed that’s safe, warm and calm Imagine how if in the nights fears brought real harm So don’t just shut your eyes and pretend it’s not true Spread some joy and hope around HE will thank you For HE designed the world as an ever wondrous place For every single one of us, for all of HIS human race Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning [This message has been edited by Marsha (edited 01-14-2001).] |

Marsha... What questions you have here.. Does a question always have to an answer to find? Are nights’ endings always by dawn’s beauty signed? Is the warmth of the sun held in a flowers’ heart? If you listen carefully can you hear the winds’ song? Would you still wonder at beauty see it as a treat? Wouldn’t a beautiful sight to you be fields’ of corn? All the answers we may never find,simply because there are none, or maybe just because we aren't supposed to know.. Perhaps we look too hard for them when we should maybe just slow down and be thankful for the questions we know the answers to..Geez, Look at me rambling on ..  This was lovely and this you know... Hugs to you... ~LL~ The way to love anything is to realize it might be lost. author unknown |

Me, I think I have the answers, just as you do Mushy, in my heart and soul. It's in the knowing and the believing, the awesome feeling that His love is real. But even without that knowledge, I believe us all capable of knowing inside by the giving of ourselves to others through love, compassion, forgiveness and sharing. Great write, my friend.

Marsha~ Deep ponder pool This school of thought What questions asked What answers sought I know without a doubt you see there is no beauty in a hungry belly Be it child, woman or man No beauty on this earth can Fill the need of the seed as hunger dwells in poverty All the music of the song does not fill a tummy long Does not make a warm, safe bed for the weary to lay their head For it's up to us you see to provide for those less fortunate than we God provides the best He can then He leaves the rest to man ~Thank you for this thinker. I needed this today. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Marsha, you really got the cogs in mi head a-turnin' with this one.....which is good, coz I think my brain needs exercise to tie me over til I go back to uni. Anyway, thanks for this, it really is wonderful, and ya know maybe we, as a race, don't need to look for the answers to everything. We've become too inquisitive. We're not the makers of all things...HE is, and we should just bask in the wonderous things He's given us and stop with the questions! Great write Marsha, I'm liking it muchly  ~Becky~ |

Mushy, questions with no answers scry the hope of man to live and try to leave to God the by and by the things we cannot do the things we can do,yes! we should to create a brotherhood first within our neighbourhood and then those far from you Look what you did! Inspired me to write. Thank you. write on love's song Kethry Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

LL love, thank you, this came out of hearing a conversation in the canteen, about overwork and underpay. Quickly followed by hearing two patients discussing their so hard done by lives. So I wrote this, and since it came out fairly easily, I guess it was meant to be written. I do thank you, and I personally believe that it's not us for us to have the answers, but to reflect love back to all. And if we did that the world would be the beautiful place HE wished it to be. Take care love Mushy Jimmy love, yes love I do, and this is my way of showing just that. And by passing that love on in whatever way we can, we are doing what we should. Take care love Mushy Margie girl, this is so awesome it should be posted in it's own right it really should. Please do love, it deserves to be so. It truly does. And it won't be seen by as many if it's left here love. And I think the message should go out to as many as possible. And thank you, for the gift of it. Take care love Mushy Beckalini, thank you love, if it gets even one person thinking then it has passed on something of benefit. i thank you for reading it and thinking Take care Mushy Kethry love, and that should be posted in it's own right too. Please love, you know how good it is, an dif you don't you should. Thank you sweetie always, now go and post it. Take care Slushy fly high fly free but always with me Kari love, oh go on with you dear heart, just spreading some of your beams around. Thank you eternally love Majestic Marsha Fly high fly free but always let it be with me < !signature-->Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning [This message has been edited by Marsha (edited 01-15-2001).] |
