If I added up the times of joy I've had within my life I know that they would far outweigh This time of sadness rife There was the time I gave birth To my firstborn child Despite the anguish and the pain Her beauty drove me wild Everyday beside her cot I watched her while she slept A smile hovering on my lips As sweet memories were kept There was a time of darkness When they took my man away But oh the joy when he returned And promised then to stay I remember sorrow When my best friend died But oh what bliss and rapture As we beforehand laughed and cried I remember wonder As my grandson came along And everyday I give thanks That he's clever and he's strong And does a smile play on my lips When playing with my friends You can bet it does, as I Find friendship never ends Sometimes without thinking I forget my pain I know it's part of grieving So the sun can shine again My life has been a journey And I'm not yet done My fifteen minutes are not up I'll grasp loving and some fun I guess what I am saying As I cruise down happy street That my life's made up of Both white and darkest meat My happy persona Has not been stowed away It's just I need some space and time To cry my tears today [This message has been edited by Kethry (edited 07-02-2001).] |

Kethry--There are many colors in the tapestry of life..each needs its own time...before it is complete. I see much hope in your words. |

Keth dearest heart sister, this is as always utterly utterly fabulous. I was going to write something wittily clever, but my brain has gone off a roaming and I'm not sure when it'll be back. So In the meantime darling girl this is excellent. Brave bravi bravisimi love as always Slushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim |
