+*+*+*+*+ There are those in my world Who light up my life with gladness. They provide love and comfort, And stand steadfast by my side. There is one in my world, Who drains my very essence And provides not love, but pain, Yet I shall stand strong and be me. +*+*+*+*+ |

As it should be, m'dear. Recognize your enemy, and invite them to lunch. |

Let me at 'em... I'll teach them to mess with an angel! *S* Some people aren't going to like us no matter what, sweet lady... it's their loss. *S* I've long ago given up trying to figure out what makes some people turn into porcupines while others gain compassion from their strifes... it just is. *S* |

I shall bury them alive, I shall!! -Huge hugs- Linda, you are one of my favorite people on here. You manage to make me smile through my tears, every time. Make sure you KEEP standing strong... That is, if you won't let me bury them ![]() |

Linda...Tender and reality all together. Enjoyed. There is one in my world, Who drains my very essence And provides not love, but pain, Yet I shall stand strong and be me. I get the feeling you are talking about yourself in this stanza. As the old saying goes we are our own worst enemy...Paul "To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you" |
