That Terrible Place |

Graphic From Webshots A place of mind deep down inside Where fear and doubt sometimes abide A place I try to push aside Or else I want to run and hide It is a place I never want to be Where laughter and happy I seldom see Where peace and contentment come not to be From this place I forever try to flee If I allow lifes trouble to leave its impression Or when I let fear and doubt take possession These feelings easily turn into depression I need to fight this with much aggression I must push away thoughts of this kind Of troubles of life I have to be blind When sweet peace inside I tend to find Is when I keep you and your love upon my mind |

Thanks, Julie. Yes, my Honey-Love is my light in my darkness. . . Dixie, I'm sorry that you can so relate. It's not a good feeling to feel depressed. . . Dawn, I am a fighter, but it's just at times I do let things consume me. Then, I really have to fight to get out of the moods. . . Thanks suthern, for agreeing with me. I do believe that is my answer. . . Michelle, we really do feel the same way about our "Loves", don't we? . . I really appreciate all of you for reading and replying on my poem. I know that it's hard to know what to say when someone writes their heart like this. I thank you all very much for your replies. Heart hugs to you all, Ethel |

I must push away thoughts of this kind Of troubles of life I have to be blind When sweet peace inside I tend to find Is when I keep you and your love upon my mind that is the best answer right there... I know that place and I try to keep away from it Ethel... hugs M |

(big angel hugs) I understand this place ever too wel, dearest friend, as I have so many child fears and abuse memories tucked away in mine and I just want that all to erode away and for that cavern to become a beautiful amethyst cave! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, know we're always here if you need a hug from those terrible thoughts, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |
