I will restore the years the locusts ate. Joel 2:25 Like a shoe that doesn't fit A metre out of rhyme I often wonder if I'm it - That person out of time All I have is worn out dress And shoes of old to keep Look in the mirror - see a mess And fill my life with sleep My precious gifts are tattered, bare My life is lived on hold When I look I'm seldom there And thoughts are grey and cold Once in sunshine of my life I knew what is was to give But days grow older, nothing blithe Before mine eyes does live Old fashioned - I cannot move on Cannot forsake the past And I find I don't belong That's something I can't mask "Just for today" is what they say So I hold and breathe Waiting for the promised day When, I my time, retrieve Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

 (big hugggssssss) Oh Kethry, you are never alone, I used to feel this way all the time myself, I thought "just for today, I will weep a while longer then I will try and get back to basics" but I always struggled to keep my word until I found the strength to trust in Him! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, my heart goes out to you and wishes you the greatest hope, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kethry, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Keth darling sister of my heart and weaver of stars incandescent dreams WOW this is utterly utterly delightful you’ve written an absolute diamond here. The flow of thought in this is wonderful and the rhyme absolutely divine. I love the thought of you coming around again, as long as you always remember to hold on to me, whenever or wherever you are. You know I adore this too don’t you, my sweetest sister, and do I forgive you for always outshining me? What do you think? Mmmm of course I do, how could I not Truly excellent writing, I love it utterly utterly utterly.   Love and warm stuff As always Slushy  To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

I understand the feeling of being out of step... there's a powerful sadness in your wonderful words. But this is your time, Kethry... your time to write for those of us who need to read... I wouldn't have missed your wisdom and perspective for the world. *S* |

Kethry, This is beautiful. But you knew that. And sad. And wistful. I love the way your mind works-and the way you show it to us. Nan |

You can imagine my surprise when I opened a book today at lunch... and found that same verse from Joel on the dedication page. *S* I only hope the book turns out to be as good as your poem. *S* |
