And…..


I have played
the fool
can’t play
that role any more
found a voice inside
in it’s power
I can roar
and I can say I WILL NOT
and ask for what I need
and found my heart is tender
and need is not a greed
and I can go on living
and love again will
touch my soul
deep inside
I have found
I am not half
I am whole

Helen,
Okay...now we're talking! What an awesome discovery. Now don't lose that thought because it is worth hanging on to forever. Cool.

"need is not greed"
Ahh..you speak a wonderful truth here, Lady.
I have to remind myself of that frequently.
I like this.

For all who watch.Dare you say hello? Come in and ask the questions that are on your mind, but spare me your judgement until you truly sipped of me.

I love this, you go girl! ~ Very well said!

If only I can say this...someday, perhaps.

This is a keeper

Take care,

Yes! Yes! Yes! Love yourself first. How can we love others until we love ourselves first? We must take care of our needs, make ourselves whole,first, without being selfish. Then we can become wonderful lovers as we give our love with powerful energy to others.
