today if you hear his voice do not harden your hearts Hebrews 4:7 behold I stand at the door and knock, if anyone hears my voice and opens the door I will come and eat with him Revelation 3:20 When death knocks upon your door Don't open it filled with regret Of a life you kept in store Held by the past you can't forget Don't be tied to wounds of stone That weigh you down and hold you here Don't spend the nights in arms - alone Because you feel your life is tears Don't hold you back, do what you will Climb that mountain break new ground Don't sip of life, drink to your fill You may not always be around And to yourself be gentle, kind There's only one of you, you know Remember leave the past behind But learn from it so you may grow Don't take the woes of life to heart The pricks and arrows will soon fade If you can - each new day start Begin afresh and be new made Study hard the word of life That you may grow in grace inside Think on those words when woes are rife Accept your failings stand with pride But most of all - whate'er you do Forgive yourself you're only you Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

Hello Lynne This was such an awesome piece of writing from the kindest of hearts. Your words of wisdom certainly touched me and made me think. I think we all should stop and smell the roses and treat each day as if it were our last. Take care......Sue I am in motion |

"Don't take the woes of life to heart The pricks and arrows will soon fade If you can - each new day start Begin afresh and be new made"  (big hugggsssssss) Oh Kethry, this is so very true, sweet friend, I agree because I have learned from experience, I used to get so hard on myself being depressed and abused by others and I thought I was my own problem, but after turning to Him I know they just didn't get to know me well and I forgive both them and myself! (sigh) This is beautiful, sweet friend, God Bless You, 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 "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Auntie Kethp there is always in your words something special, a message that a soul needs, a touch of wisdom or a guiding light. In this you’ve combined all of those. The message to enjoy each day, the thought of making sure you wring the essence from each second and the light that guides you to the way is awesome. Do you have any idea how special and brilliant your writing is? Mum is never wrong she said that if I read your work I would learn and I have I’ve learnt so much. I know I’ll never be the calibre or writer you are but I can read and wish certainly. Excellent writing I love this As always Krissy   And while thy willing soul transpiers |

You've just inspired me with an important message, as as I needed it. Thank you and BIG hugs. mycafe Keep counting your blessings |

From the title through the very last word, this is superb. *S* And I think I'll tape your closing couplet to my alarm clock... so that every day can begin with wisdom. *S* |

And to yourself be gentle, kind There's only one of you, you know Remember leave the past behind But learn from it so you may grow This is an unbelievably beautiful, loving and comforting write, Keth... I have been scared lately and I just love the uplifting feel to this poem. It really helps.  ~ chipmunk hugsLyra |
