+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* When darkness falls upon your days And gray clouds hide the sun, Know in your heart, those times shall pass, ~ They do for everyone. Keep the faith when all seems lost, When there seems no end in sight, Know light will shine upon your soul And end tormenting night. Life's a journey of hills and dales, As we each go down our path, Dwell not upon that which we lack, But upon that which we hath. When darkness falls upon your days And gray clouds hide the sun, Know in your heart, those times shall pass, ~ They do for everyone. |

 (smiles) And I can think of two examples of living proof you're right...you and me, yay! (big angel hugs) You've endured so much these past few months yet you have pulled through and are stronger than ever, as I overcame abuse as a little boy, yay! God Bless You, sweet friend, 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 P.S: I have a poem I think you'll really like! /pip/Forum75/HTML/000851.html "You'll find something that's enough to keep you But if the bright lights don't receive you You should turn yourself around and come back home" MB20 |

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! 'Tis no wonder why I have missed you all! You are all so compassionate and caring! I am so grateful to be a part of such a loving poetic family of friends. I am so physically weak right now and I have several months of cardiac rehabilitation ahead of me. I may not be responding to your wonderful poems as often as I wish I could, but I have managed to read several of them ~ and they were awesome!!! Loves & hugs, EA |

I appreciate all of your wonderful replies. I wish that I had was able to respond to each and every one. Due to all the complications from my open-heart surgery, I have not been getting much exercise and need to build my strength back up ~ but slowly. You all are treasures that I hold dear to my new heart! Love & Light, EA |

Hello Linda It is so wonderful to have you back here with us. Your words always bring rays of sunshine and for me your words are so significant to my life right now. I just found out that my sister in law who is 45 has a brain tumour and at the beginning of the year my uncle was diagnosed with brain and lung cancer. You have to make the most of each day and try to keep positive. Take care my friend Sue I am in motion |

I always enjoy poems with such a flowing rhythm and rhyme strategy as you applied to this one. Of course the classic style would be nothing without the great words. I mean, you could use it on anything and if the writer wasn't true to heart and a bit talented you'd have a bad peice of writting. This was excellent. Inspiring, encouraging...pulls for hope with time and some how I pictured the most wonderous vision of a sunset over the ocean while reading. I enjoyed this greatly, thank you for sharing. |

D'sWhisper ~ ~ and "whisper" you did, Dear D! That was such a lovely, and very thoughtful, response to my poem ~ and yes, it was straight from my heart! This was such a pleasant surprise to see my poem back in the light of day! Thank you! Big hug, EA |
