Rewards of You By Larry Chadwick When life is somber, And I feel alone. I like to reflect, On what I’ve known. It gives me reassurance, These thoughts I recall. They keep me centered, And help to avoid a fall. I recite the memories of us, And how I have changed. Things are so much better, Now that I am rearranged. The loneliness departs, As I dwell on you. There is what we have, And possibilities that are new. Interesting how my pain subsides, As I forget about myself now. Why did I look into the mirror, Instead of your direction, anyhow? This moment has now passed, Reclaimed by knowing you. Part of the rewards I get, For sharing life like we do. March 15, 2002 Everybody thinks of changing humanity and nobody thinks of changing himself. Leo Tolstoy |

Alicethruglass would say....nicely done..and me I would say..you really know how to "subject" yourself...nice insight. *s M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

(sigh) Oh Larry, I think every one of us can relate to this kind of retrospection, I feel like such a fool when I first go back and reflect upon the torment I experienced in the past rather than enjoying the ride of what's to come, but nevertheless I realize that I can compare myself from before than I am now and realize how I have become the compassiuonate person I have desired to be and I have come so far! (big hugggsssss) This is fabulous, sweet friend, you are a true delight to us all, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Larry, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Awww, this is so sweet Larry. She must be a wonderful lady indeed to inspire this love and adoration. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |
