(This is rather childish, but sums up how I feel...thank you for reading!) God wandered through a pumpkin patch one day and came across a pumpkin….. one that had fallen from the patch. In tenderness and care, he brought it into his home, washed away the dirt from all the other pumpkins with his loving hands. He cut the top off and carefully scooped out all the seeds of doubt, hate, anger, mistrust, worry and fear. And with his craftsmanship, he carved a beautiful smile on the face of it! But he didn’t stop there. He placed His light inside for all the world to see and more importantly, than all of this- He made the pumpkin a child again! One that smiles and shines…….with love. -befriend yourself and you will never be alone- [This message has been edited by The Lady of Shallot (edited 10-23-2001).] |

The Lady of Shallot, I did not find this childish at all. In fact quite the opposite. Very important message you have brought to life here. Thanks for sharing. Dawn |

Dear Lady of Shallot - If you consider this write childish, well then, just wrap me up in a diaper and blankey and call me Babycakes!!! Enjoyed. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

This is so very sweet! Poetry is an expression of feelings. I do not write poems, but rather, the poems use me to write themselves. |
