I heard your cry as you called out my name In darkness of night as you winced from the pain From shadows and ghosts that just cannot let go I know how you’re feeling… dear heart…yes I know When all of the past that we think is behind Comes into the foreground sometimes we go blind We only see forests, we cannot see trees And all of our sorrows bring us to our knees But look up and see there’s a light up ahead It banishes thoughts of the darkness and dread A light that surrounds you in beauty and sun A dream for the taking, when battles are won So fight off the demons and banish the ghosts Live life as you wish, and make of it the most If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Scarlett...hmmm...how appropriate. And how uncharming that I neglected to respond to such a poem as this. Your grace with words and friendship are evident, Tracey and appreciated by many. Are applications for the fan club available yet? |

Wonderful words of inspiration Tracey. We all must live by that rule and make the most of each and every day. We should treasure what we have and guard it like a precious jewel. Take care......Sue Suetang |

Comforting words, Tracey. Empathy flows easily from your heart and quill. |

SmartChick, thank you very much for your words, I appreciate them a great deal Seymour, thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoyed this Sandra, ah yes, I was just talking about Rhett and Scarlett last night…yes, tomorrow is another day…and another day to start our lives over. With happiness sweet friend…with happiness Duncan,isn’t it though? And applications…yes, signed, sealed and delivered. Whether you like it or not, you’re a lifetime member my friend!!! Lol Sue, I could not agree with your words more my friend. Life is too precious to waste in unhappiness. You seem to live your life with a great deal of happiness…I admire you for that Kacy, thank you so much. I do believe you know where these words sprung from. Yes, there is much empathy, and I do believe the friend took some comfort from the words Doreeen, from you, I take these words as high praise indeed. I know you do not bestow your praise lightly, and I am honoured indeed to be on the receiving end. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |
