Thank you Karen [:X]

I came up with a new one a few nights ago, it's on my laptop at home. I haven't read it yet. But I do know it's not a lovely one, I was feeling low when I wrote it.

Some days it's not even worth knawing at the straps

[Karen W.]

We all have those low moments, I write about them and mostly keep them for me, sometimes I will post them, I did one on the forum for a dear friend of mine who is still on life support and its been over a month and he has seen no changes. His wife cannot let them take him from the machine as she loves him so. I pray for him every day and for the family!!

Awww, that is so sad. I don't know what I would do in a situation like that. The pain must be unimaginable []

 Yes I don't know how she is coping and I do understand her need to hold on to the man she has loved . they have supported each other raised their children who are still young and at home. Shes pretty tough, but I also know she is very fragile as we all are. Even when we are wearing our tough stuff faces!!

Some people amaze me with how resilient they are, real troopers.

It's still early, and love is very powerful. You never know, he may well pull through at anytime. From weakness we find strength and through others we find not only strength but courage, kindness and the will to be all we can be.
I may not be that religious anymore, but I have witnessed some wonders that cannot really be explained. Faith is a powerful thing.

Yes it is and I have witnessed the same ! We can never give up on what we believe unless we have exhausted every avenue available. Then we must rely on faith. do what we can do ourselves then believe it with all ouer hearts!!

The problem is that sometimes the toughness is merely on the surface; sometimes one can be tough as long as there is something to keep you occupied, but as soon as it is all over, and you have nothing more to occupy you, that is when you fall apart.

It is very dangerous just to look at the surface as suggest that the person is able to cope.

Boy do I here you George so true so very true!! I am finding that a problem here today, the tough part of my skin seems to be a bit thin today!

You see, I was pushed into religion, my dads side of the family is very religious, well considering my grandad was a deacon or something and my uncle is a priest it was bound to happen. I went to a roman catholic school, both primary and secondary, which would constantly ram down your throat religious studies. However I did used to go to church with my parents, I enjoyed it for a while, but then something happened, it all lost it's glow to me. I still respect it, it's just not for me anymore.

Yes I was brought up Babtist , then I went to a pentecostal and now I am a member of the LDS church and have been for for 14 or 15 years now. I have been inactive for over a year now, as I have had to deal with family issues and health, getting it back!! Seemed overwhelming teaching preschool all day 5 days aweek to 34 kids and then having sunday teaching primary at church for small groups of children... I love it it was my calling, but I was and am worn out and need ed some major me time. I am still very much a believer in God and will always be. Right now I need to be a believer in myself and that has been difficult after many years of not believing in me. I got so lost somewhere alondg the lines.

Yeah, my parents do a lot for the kids at their church, they go to a Evangelica church, they didn't like how boring roman catholics were.

If they're not doing sunday school then they are usually leading the service. It's what they love, and I'm glad they have it, I don't think they would be as happy if they didn't have their faith.

But you definitely need some you time  []

Some days it's not even worth knawing at the straps

[Karen W.]

Yes I do and despite all the love and happiness in church, it was just to much for me right now, doesn't deminnish my faith or belief never will!

Karen

[Mirage]

You can still be devoted even if you don't go to church, that's how I see it. After all, the church is not just a building, it's the people.

FEAR

The Morning sun is tring to to peak into my window!
It feels like an old friend coming round to visit.

My mind contemplating the journey from within to the outside.
my heart is tring so hard not to run and hide.

I know that there is nothing to fear, but in my mind the words still ring clear.....

Many thoughts racing round inside, I must do it now, I must not hide.
Gathering confidence and breathing deep, I can slip through the door and take a peek!

......Oh yes the sun, a glorious friend I love this world want it back again... breathing breathing all is well....Oh take in that lovely smell...

Fresh air and sunshine .... oh how divine, glorious warmth, I am going to be fine..........

Hullo all,

I just love all the words you write.

I hope you like this too.



No Title,as usual


It’s a melting pot, a travesty of justice
That such an emotion can exist in this twist
No warning, no sweet initiation
A thunder clap of sweet serenity
And I am taken aback,
It’s a gust of breath
Aghast in mind and loss of control

Embellish me then toil this man
Reaching out as far I can
Fingertips can feel the prints of her
It’s not just a yearning, it’s a burning !

What a devilish trick to play
That places his want so far away
This life is such a rotten core
This apple is bitter but craves for more
No I won’t deny this adoration
Obstacles are there for calculation
Overcome by flights of fancy
No incredulity, no imagination possessed
It’s real, it’s firm…a tangible mess.

This life is a tide at a low ebb on the shore
But like the tide , it returns for more
A yo yo of emotion, a love that can blister
But she knows that he’s here and does miss her

It’s a melting pot, a travesty of justice
That such an emotion can exist in this twist
No sweet surrender, no warning shot
Just now to live with what we’ve got
The ingredients are there in view
It’s a recipe of me and you


My head is not what it used to be.
