Take me up in your protection Underneath your loving arms Hide me from imperfections Lead me away from harm. Mommy it’s been years, And I don’t want to feel afraid anymore... Too many tears Since you ran out into that open door. I’m not sure which of us has chosen The path of real security, But my compass has been broken Since you gave that glance to me. Let me close my eyes, And cry into your shoulder... Can’t you teach me to be wise? Because I think I’m getting older. - And so it was that time stood still - (blink, breathe, stand, fight) [This message has been edited by GG (03-28-2003 04:55 AM).] |

Mommy it’s been years, And I don’t want to feel afraid anymore... ******************************************* This is one of the most emotionally charged writes I've seen on here in a while. Outstanding job. Instead of telling us... tell her. Imagine all the People living life in peace... John Lennon [This message has been edited by Ringo (03-28-2003 10:59 AM).] |

Goodness Alyssa....  I feel the hurt in this one. God bless you. And if it's not about you personally, God bless all the other children who feel this way, too. Heart Hugs  Ethel |

littlewing, so sorry you can relate! But I suppose on certain levels of it, everyone can. Thanks for replying  Ringo, thanks I do tend to reak the norm in everything I do. Don't believe I'll be telling her anytime soon.. lol I haven't even seen her since we had Christmas.Thanks again, to you both. Always, Alyssa - And so it was that time stood still - |

Ethel, I seem to normally write about myself, not an exception here. Like you I just write what I'm feeling.. but I have no perception of its quality. But I'm really not down now, just feeling vulnerable. Thanks much and God bless you too.WhiteRose, now now, its ok, don't cry Glad I got the feelings through enough to be 'felt.' Thank you very much.take care you two Always, Alyssa - And so it was that time stood still - |

Sey sir, thank you for the 'well done' I'm honored kaile, I know about that uncomfortable place you don't want to go in.. problem is I'm there, thats why I feel so vulnerable but I guess that means I got my feelings through thank you.Stand firm! Always, Alyssa - And so it was that time stood still - |

Alyssa, What can I say? How pleased I am to see your ability to write out your feelings in great poetic form. This is very touching. It is odd, and a pity how some children need to be the parent and the parent the child. Heart hugs and keep writing for you have captured others feelings as well. Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Pat, thank you and yes you're right, it is a pity.. but I suppose every boundary will be tested and some broken.. and that leads to finding new ways to make it through the race. As I can see, I'm certainly not the first one to make up the steps as I take them. Besides, we can never be convicted unless we're a bit vulnerab;e  again thanks, hugs and love..Always, Alyssa - And so it was that time stood still - |
