I posted this a while back with the dedication that this was for all my friends here on Passion's as a token of my appreciation for your support and encouragement through the years...once more, thank you dear friends for giving me a map of the world and the strength to travel the roads life has led me on...I love you all A Map Of The World He locked me in irons And threw out the key. You broke chains that held me, Setting me free. He caged me with cruelty; Left me to die. You healed broken wings And taught me to fly. He fed me his lies Till I withered, was doomed. You nourished my soul And watched as I bloomed. He judged me unjustly. You pardoned the crime. He put me away. You served out the time. He reached out to strike me, His temper unfurled. He said I’d go nowhere... You gave me a map of the world. ~ Ruth If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it. [This message has been edited by hoot_owl_rn (07-01-2003 09:18 PM).] |

Oh, Ruth, My dear, your work is still as wonderful as ever. It has been a long time since I made it home to Passions, and I am so glad that yours is the first poem I read upon my return. I hope that you still remember me, though it has been almost 2 whole years since I last perused these pages. Anyway, my friend, it is a good thing to be home again! ~you reached inside, you touched my heart, |

The right one can do this.....and sometimes our hearts do make the right choice. Not as often as we'd like, but sometimes.... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
