Poetry thread anyone?

1. none of us are perfect

2. we all roll our eyes 'cause thats what wives do 

3. I believe that you and your wife will get thru this, you will figure out what works for your family and for each other. There is no one right way; we all fumble and stumble around, trying everything till we find things that work. Then say a quiet prayer every night that we got thru one more day.

4. Its ok to be scared, cry, be angry whatever in front of your wife, together with your wife. As much as I love that my dh is strong, I also worry about what he thinks and feels about all this. He thinks it will upset me to share but I truely wish he would, then I'd know he was ok. 

My prayers are with you both,  be sure to take care of yourself so you will be able to care of your beloved.

chuckle

She loves me, I never would doubt that.  I know she really is in a place that laughter is not an easy thing.  I will keep those eyes a rollin no matter what.  She will eaither laugh her butt off or pass out from holding it in. The one thing that drives her crazy is my sense of humor, she claims not in a good way but who can tell sometimes.  I appreciate the praise and no wonder she enjoys chatting with everybody else, you all are truely angels.

I stand in awe...

When out goes the call.

A sister is in need,

Soon the thread becomes a beacon of light.

With prayers and good wishes and giving us insight

Into the love and caring on this board...

I stand in awe and thank the good Lord.

All I can say is WOW!!!!!   I spent the last hour reading everyone's poems, etc., and it has been so uplifting and stirring!!!  I just can't believe it!  I think they should all be compiled and made into a book!   I love to write, and here is one of mine:

The Desert Place

To think that He would bring me here was never in my plan.

My dreams were quiet valleys where the deeper waters ran.

To feed within your pastures green and not a fear to trace.

Oh, Father, why the choice of this, the lonely desert place?

Paths that go but nowhere, and I walk them all alone,

Futile days of desert heat, and nights that chill the bone.

I'm tired Lord, so tired, of the heavy, aching heart.

Tired of defeated days before they even start!

Where can I find my song again, Oh Father, can it be?

That even in this desert place you have forgotten me?

"I never will forsake thee!" Oh, how sweet the promise is,

To know that I am not alone, for I'm a child of His!

Oh Father, may I learn that You will feed me with thy bread,

That somewhere in this desert place You have a table spread.

Teach me all the lessons you think that I should know,

And may I pay attention to where e're your footsteps go,

So when another pilgrim finds his way into this land,

And cries, "I am so lonely!" I can say, "I understand."

I will not doubt that through it all You know what's best for me,

And may I find within this place my chosen ministry.

And when the evening hours come and sunlight starts to dim,

I'll know that I was not alone, but walked today with Him.

wow Nelia

that was absolutely beautiful.. i love how so many of the poems reflect our spirituality. 

Something I had written long long ago...LOL

Self Help - The only help that works   

All were with me sharing my joy

And most of time I was so happy

Suddenly I fell in a pool of sorrow

For I slipped walking carelessly

Those who I considered my people

Laughed away at my pitiful plight

When I was suffering in the dark

They teased me instead of giving some light

There was no one to help me out

I was left to suffer all alone

All lights around me slowly faded

All I could do was sit there and mourn

Again and again I kept calling for help

But I had lost all those trusted friends

Suddenly I realized ‘I' could help myself

With self help all the darkness ends

I steeled up and grew to be strong

And helped myself out of the plight

Said the glow worm to me smiling

Burn your butt if you need light...

Together we can make it better,

It may be sunny or stormy weather.

Together we can wipe those tears away

and make life better in every way.

And if your world starts turning blue,

Together we can make it threw.

This old world and you and me,

Together will make history.

So good to hear that Pantufas is improving!

Janzz...so glad she is better....thx

Apple...it really does suck...Hugs, Mazy
