  • **Edit required - sorry folks...lest you think/thought that I wrote this, I did not - cannot take credit for it - just sharing **

    For my friend.....[you are the bravest one I know]


    You were full and fully capable
    You were self sufficient and needless
    Your house was fully decorated in that sense

    You were taken with me to a point
    A case of careful what you wish for
    But what you knew was enough to begin

    And so you called and courted fiercely
    So you reached out, entirely fearless
    And yet you knew of reservation and how it serves

    And i salute you for your courage
    And i applaud your perseverance
    And i embrace you for your faith in the face of adversarial forces

    So you were in but not entirely
    You were up for this but not totally
    You knew how arms length-ing can maintain doubt

    And so you fell and you're intact
    So you dove in and you're still breathing
    So you jumped and you're still flying

    And i support you in your trusting
    And i commend you for your wisdom
    And i'm amazed by your surrender in the face of threatening forces

    You found creative ways to distance
    You hid away from much through humor
    Your choice of armor was your intellect

    And so you felt and you're still here
    And so you died and you're still standing
    And so you softened and you're still safely in command

    Self protection was in times of true danger
    Your best defense to mistrust and be wary

    Surrendering a feat of unequalled measure
    And i'm thrilled to let you in
    Overjoyed to be let in in kind

  • i love you, havah. 'nuff said.

  • Wow!....that's all I can say....wow!

  • For whom was this written?  If nobody claims it....I will!

    Love it, but love you more.

  • That was breath taking,wow. Thank you for sharing, I love poetry. It puts me at peace.

  • Alanis Morissette is a phenomenal thinker/songwriter. Those lyrics are powerful. I love that song. YOU are a good friend, love.

  • RYC: August 20 - that's a week today...

  • never listened to those lyrics before..will never hear them again without thinking of you...love you

  • LOVED the blood mobile photos.  I'm just catching up on your posts--you were quite prolific over the weekend.  I want to hug you.

  • RYC: It is actually given nationally on Saturday, but because Saturday is my Sabbath, I will take it on the alternate day of Sunday. I am having a hard time believing that I'm going to do well on the test because I just haven't studied enough. It wouldn't be the end of the world because Jeff is now wanting to take a year off before we go to grad school anyway, but it would be a blow to my pride - and it's a shame to have wasted the registration fee for nothing... *sigh* Life is so complicated... Thanks for the prayers!!

  • ryc: S&V chips happen to be the only ones I actually like. Go figure.

  • I love you mtyek!  Really.

  • i'm good...very good! you?
