All this time Hiding in the shadows Passing through Story book rhymes and riddles Always thought myself To be the Ugly Duckling Never would I allow myself to escape The basis of a mere fantasy Trapped within my mind And drowning within the sands of time I still considered myself An Ugly Duckling Many Princes have come along the way Swooning over my beauty Yet I still felt unworthy Till you came along Riding galantly Head strong To show me That there is life Outside of the shadows And story book rhymes and riddles For once I do believe When you tell me I am the most Beautiful Swan you've ever seen And never again will I ever think twice Nor feel like An Ugly Duckling...

It’s good that you don’t believe the negative about yourself The positive will lift you up and make you a better person. Then, you will see the beauty in all of things, Be brave and see bravery, be beautiful and see beauty. |

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Kristen, I know just how you feel, I always felt before I ever knew Joanna that I was a very ugly duckling and I was sad and felt no one would ever love me, but Joanna has given me so much faith and sunshine and I know with a golden heart like yours now you are a beautiful dove to so many and will bring great happiness to so many everyday! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kristen, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Nice, when you can let yourself believe in something....Then, believe it. Good write Catwyn. ~wranx In reply to "which way do we go?", the answer was never "straight", but, "progressively forward". |
