I am proud and yet afraid I wonder if they will find out Sometimes I hear their thoughts of me I see the eyes of billions stare and I want that they should see-- I am proud and yet afraid. I pretend I am celebrity I feel hands reach out for me I touch the ones not threatening I worry of the others I cry for what's ahead of me-- I am proud and yet afraid. I understand I am to blame I even say it's all my fault I dream the bridge is way too high as I try to fix it all I hope that it will all work out. I am proud and yet afraid. |

Ralph?  Thanks for doing this one first--it was and IS a very personal introduction, but I wanted everyone here to see you as I do--vulnerable and yet strong. I am proud too, and I was afraid. But I think you'll do just fine here.  |

You are a wonderful heart and soul, a very strong man with much to share. I am so very sorry you lost your Leah, who was obviously an incredibly wonderful loving lady. When you are ready, I'd love to read some of those 'heart' thoughts you've been carrying around in your head. Take your time, healing is a lifetime happening. May your heart be a strong adagio. |
