~ God grant that I shall live each day As tho' it were my last, So when my time to leave, does come, I shan't have had a "past"! ~ |

(smiles) Oh Linda, this is wonderful, sweet friend, I prefer to think too that the "past" is just a state of mind that we should cherish too but most importantly it should always be the present we hold dear! (kiss on cheek) This is lovely, sweet friend, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Oh..too late for me, I already have one. Very nice! "The first rule of poetry, write what you know." |

Such wisdom from you this this morning dear Angel. Between you and Sy, I think this should definitely be a play and have fun kind of lighthearted day. The message is coming through loud and clear. Thank you...Marti Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. |

Good morning Noah! The "past" I'm referring to is not simply one's past in life, but a "past" that one might have regretted--- wouldn't want to carry that kind of baggage on that trip to meet St. Peter at those pearly gates! hehe By the way, St. Peter told me to say "Hi!" to you!

WhiteRose-- Somehow, I don't think your "past" is all that bad! There's too much good in you and that comes shining through your poetry! ~ Live this day as tho' it were your last---but it's not!!!! ~ EA |

Hey, Marti! Maybe we could all join Mr. T. and play this day---and keep out of trouble! Sometimes, I can spout some pretty wise words (I must be channelling them from above! tehe)--just wish I was a wise as I sometimes sound! ~ Laugh, sing, dance and play this fine fall day, dear friend! ~ Linda [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (10-04-2002 05:21 PM).] |

Each day I live's a miracle My past's caught up with me I can't complain, it's been my choice I've made this path I lead. Most friends are dead and gone And my parents too Seems life has been too short But the days are long and blue So live each day as if it's your last And if you feel like me, It might be my final day I'd accept that happily.

Linda, you are truly a gem! This is as always short and sweet. I'm sure St. Peter will whoop and shout HURRAY the day you grace his gates! But on the selfish side, I hope that is not for years and years to come. Thanks for this little bit of inspiration this afternoon. As alway, Enjoyed! Peace, love, light, and happiness Tammy |

Toe-- I love it when I receive a poem for a reply--but this one is so sad, I want to give you a great big hug and try to reasure you that everything is going to be okay. Seems like you are having a down day--unfortunately we all have them---I hope tomorrow will be a better day. ~ Here's a hug, a kiss on the cheek, and a spoon full of medicine ~ EA [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (10-04-2002 05:22 PM).] |

Mr. T. --Yes, it is a good path--but it is not always that easy to follow--but I'm sure it's one you follow regardless of how difficult the journey is! ~ Keep on trekking the high road! ~ EA |
