I love hearing you speak in the vernacular, my dear. This is a wonderful form you've adopted. Very soulful, thoughtful ~ sending the best message out to us all.

Thank you,

S

Thank You All !!! :heart:

I was surprised to receive this flow. Wasn't looking for it. Sorta kinda shocked that it presented itself. It was so easy. Truly a *natural* flow. Thank you for the encouragement!

we often lend a helping hand
out to those who most need it

but if they reject the hand
we offer, then what are we
supposed to do for them except
pray all day everyday

itz gonna be alright

Sometimes I read a poem and it feels like you know my story!
The details may be somewhat different and some of the parts not as gory! But It is still the same story!
Sometimes I go to a read just for the title and leave that page changed and rearranged forever, I just clicked the mouse three
pages over , to find an answer that I traveled 500 miles to find.
Thank you Poets for sometime readin my mind!
Sometimes there is nothing you can do but PRAY!

BLESSINGS ON YA HOUSE!:peace: :peace:

Destee, I think you missed your true calling
I absolutely LOVE this...I sure hope this "spirit"
visits you again 'cause I would love to read more.
Those resigned <smiles> and <sighs> speak volumes

Much Peace ~

Hhhmmm, let me think about this. The work was good...too good to not be true, or just some stuff flowin from you...so I guess the only thing left to say is, God bless her and you're right to pray.

Thanks for the rare work Lady !!!
