We are all the same We really are We pray for peace And wish on stars. We love to laugh Yet too often cry By the grace of God We always get by. We argue at times With family and friends But can't sleep a wink Till we've made amends. We miss our folks Whether still here or not. And other sweet souls Who will not be forgot. We want our children To be honored and blessed See our grandchildren smile When life says we can rest. We are all the same Now can't you see? When your heart beats - It echoes through me. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Chris Barker ~~~~~~~~~~ |

 Yay!!! (does happy dance) Oh Chris, if that is true, that must mean you are my sister and everyone here are my brothers and sisters, yay! (kiss on cheek) Yay, yes, we all bleed the same color, we all cry, laugh, and feel for one another, and we all have dreams, yay! This is gorgeous, sweet friend, God Bless You, I love this and it has my vote, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Chris, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

NightShade~ Now this is 'different' ...  'When your heart beats - It echoes through me.' Big *sighs* at this very thought~  *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Chris, I loved this so very much. A point I've tried to teach our children. "... We are all the same Now can't you see? When your heart beats - It echoes through me..." Fabulous lines. Hugs, Marti Dwelling on the negative simply |
