Sometimes I wish... That I were but a child again. And life was filled with joy, with the fun of simplicity. Growing up Such a challenge at times... Even as we age particularly then. For now, life is so complicated with so many others involved... Trying to please but... Needing to be me. Am I selfish? Am I asking.. too much? Have I met half way? Have we both? Lord, just let me ... Let me read...a prayer.... A prayer of serenity.. That I might walk That I might take the path which leads to a place where I belong... Written for a friend who is struggling with choices and feelings... [This message has been edited by Magnus (09-03-2002 05:28 PM).] |

 (big hugggssssss) Oh Barry, with such a compassionate heart like yours asking for this is never selfish at all, and I know He will not cross our paths but always be hovering above us and guiding us along the way to find answers to seek this special simplicity and joy we all strive for! (sigh) This is very well expressed, sweet friend, I love it, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

I like this, Barry. I'm always struggling with doing the right thing, I don't even know what the right thing IS, anymore Sandra |

Hello Barry This was a wonderful piece of writing that I can relate to on many levels. I guess we all doubt ourselves at different stages in our lives and I'm sure your friend feels blessed to have you as a friend. Take care......Sue I am in motion |

Dear Magnus - We all fall off life's pathway at one time or another. The Lord will always lift us up ....if we just ask. Enjoyed. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

Perhaps your friend is luckier than you ever thought, knowing that you wrote this for them... |

Barry Life is made much easier on that path where you don't know which way to turn, when a friend is beside you with an open heart, willing to go which ever way you turn. Compassionate writing. |
