Not By Me - By Helen Steiner Rice

Everyone Needs Someone
People need people and friends need friends
And we all need love for a full life depends
Not on vast riches or great acclaim,
Not on success or on worldy fame,
But just in knowing that someone cares
And holds us close in their thoughts and prayers-
For only the knowledge that we're understood
Makes everyday living feel wonderfully good,
And we rob ourselves of life's greatest need
When we "lock up our hearts" and fail to heed
The outstretched hand reaching to find
A kindred spirit whose heart and mind
Are lonely and longing to somehow share
Our joys and sorrows and to make us aware
That life's completeness and richness depends
On the things we share with our loved ones
and friends.

Thank You Very Much - Thursday

It's Free Therapy Day!! That's right, it's Thursday, which means it's the Thank You Very Much day. The way it works is that you take out all your frustrations on people/things that peeved you off during the week and thank them in a very sarcastic way, for being who or what they are/doing what they did. I know everyone can use some free therapy, so go ahead and type yours out, grab my button from my sidebar, and then link up with me so that we can all share in each other's therapy.


So here it goes...

THANK YOU VERY MUCH - TO the woman that flipped me the finger yesterday while going downthe road... when i was doing nothing but driving.. she was the one going 10 miles an hour on a 25 mph and I didnt even honk at you

THANK YOU VERY MUCH - TO The weather why must you get cold again... even if youll be warm by this afternoon... wakin up to the cold I was done with weeks ago...

BLINDED BY THE LOVE

BLINDED

Blinded by the love I have
for not just my family but my friends
I try to see the good in all
even when it's my tears that fall
I never thought it would hurt so much
but I'm sorry is not enough.
I've tried so hard to forget
but the words still linger in my ears
But Blinded by the love I have
so much for not just my Family but my FRIENDS till the END.

Blinded by the love I have
for not just my husband and my kids
so much my heart is Full
memories made to be pulled
at later dates when I am old
and my kids have kids of their own.
Old and gray I'll still be Blinded by the love I have
For my husband, whom is my best friend
for my kids, that are my world
and yes still all my family and my friends

AWAKEN BY THE LIGHT

AWAKEN BY THE LIGHT
THE LOVE OF THE ONE THAT MAKES ME WHOLE
THE FORGIVENESS GIVEN BY ONLY HIM
THE PROMISES ALWAYS KEPT
THE WORD SPOKEN IN MY HEART
THE BLESSINGS BLESSED UPON ME
ONLY THROUGH HIM THEY COME
THIS TRUTH, THIS PROMISE, THIS LIFE

DOWN ON MY KNEES
PRAYING, ASKING, AND THANKING
THROUGH HIM MY HEART IS HEALED
THROUGH HIM MY TEARS ARE DRIED
THROUGH HIM I KNOW THE TRUTH
THROUGH HIM THERE ARE NO LIES

GOD IS MY BEST FRIEND
GOD IS IN MY HEART
HE STANDS BY MYSIDE
AND CARRIES ME THROUGH THE DARK
I LEAN ON HIM, HE HOLDS ME UP

AWAKEN BY THE LIGHT
ALL HIS LOVE MAKING ME WHOLE
THE FORGIVENESS OF MY SIN
THE PROMISES ALWAYS KEPT
HIS WORD PLACED ON MY HEART
BLESSINGS POURED OUT UPON ME
THROUGH HIM ONLY DO THEY COME
THIS TRUTH, THIS PROMISE, THIS LIFE

TO HIM ALL I GIVE
FOR HE IS IS ALL I NEED
THANK YOU JESUS FOR LOVING ME
