“Life is a school
Where you learn
How to remember
What your Soul
Already knows”
~Sun Gazing~
Amazing!
And so it goes
Our life we do not choose
Sometimes we may lose
At times our happiness may flee
Dreams blow away on the breeze
Other times may truly disappoint
Far beyond a distant vanishing point
“Bodies come and go
Cast off like old clothes
But the soul is never born
Nor does it ever die:”
~Srik Pallabhi Jois~
This is written to say
Don’t ever believe the lie
You are beautiful and glowing
Your life has ups and downs
Yet it’s full and flowing
Think of all the ones who love you
And pray for the ones that do not
Thinking this way you’ll get through
Living the beautiful life you aught
Knowing that your heart craves love
Our minds shouldn't live under the thumb of
Those that are lost and cannot lift their spirits
Instead . . .
Extend your love to help them up and in doing so
You will find you have soared much higher not low
The wisdom given is simple and full
“It is much better to give, than receive”
Some days our heart weeps and will pull
Away from the truth and where we should cleave
We want you to remember that everyone will feel
Days where it’s hard to carry on and want to quit
Giving permission to feel this way makes you real
And will heal your soul, your heart and your spirit
We send our love, prayers and care to you
Feeling your pain and helping you through
Life has a way of taking it's toll
Love, makes us whole

What a beautiful poem - your love and kindness shine through... such a fabulous, touching poem.
I cried as I read, and I'm crying as I type... you know Laura means the world to me... as do you and many others. To have a dear friend reach out to another dear friend...
I Love You, Jade
Dearest Laura - everything Jade has put to words here- I'd repeat a thousand times- to say how much you mean. You are such a treasure... such an unselfish human being.
