Found this tonight and it proved to me that God does answer prayers. I am a *Big Girl* now !!  ~* THE 'REAL' ME *~ Tonight I feel so restless, I can't seem to settle down, and I feel so lonesome, more then usual, I have found. What is it that I'm seeking? What do I hope to find? Lord I wish you'd help me, at least give me a sign. I have a loving family, and I know that they care. But all these doubts I have inside, with them I can't share. I need someone to hold me, when I feel the need to cry. When burdens over power me, And life just makes me sigh. There's been desisions I've had to make, with no one to turn to. And Lord sometimes I get so scared, I don't know what to do. People only see my strength, They don't know, inside I'm weak. They see someone, who takes her stand, but again, inside I'm meek. No one has ever known me, I guess that's why I'm free. I feel so lost, and all alone, in a world not meant for me. I try so hard to be tough, and not let anyone see, all the emotions hid inside, that's slowly killing me. So maybe Lord you can help, no one seems to understand. I'm just a 'little girl' in many ways, trying to do the best I can. Well, tomorrow is another day, smiles will replace my tears. This 'little girl' will carry on, and try to set aside her fears! Thank you Lord for all you've done, I know how much you care. Help me to become a 'big girl' and accept the burdens that I bear. You know all my needs Lord, you know me through and through. Take away my doubts and fear. That no one can do but you. * That which gives light, must endure burning * |

Bravo! You know something dear Kitty, I have some poems stashed away somewhere that I wrote when my marriage broke up---but thems is hurtin' pohems! I never did get around to writing about the new empowered me. One good thing about the end of my marriage---I lost 200 pounds!----HIM! Ha! Ha! This poem is a wonderful message to other women who are going through the same traumatic experience. You go girl! Linda (a sister survivor!) |

This woman comes with open arm in need of just a tender touch To love, to live without the harm in need of comfort and so much. The trials are long and surely hard. They burden the soul and weary mind. If but the draw of just one card. One ace of love, she wished to find. The tender heart that swells inside of one who is within a child. Not wanting to shrink or go hide. A woman, in need, but still...a child. Hugs to ya Kitty!! |
