BEGINNING AT THE BEGINNING

I have decided to begin at the very beginning of the journal and work my way through showing each page in the exact order in which it appears. Please keep in mind that the artwork is not fine art.  It's not suppose to be.  Each drawing or painting comes from a place of raw emotion.  Just as each poem or journaling will.  The blog I posted yesterday is rightly where this journal begins so if you haven't read "My house is a Mess, I'm a Mess, and my bills aren't paid", that is where you should begin.  Enjoy life.  Live long and prosper - thank you Dr. Spock.

To Those I Love 

& Those Who Love Me

When I am gone, release me, let me go

I have so many things to see

So you must not tie yourself to me with tears

Be happy that we had so many years.

I gave you my love; you can only guess

How much you gave to me in happiness.

I thank you for the love you each have shown

But now it's time I traveled alone.

So grieve awhile, if grieve you must

Then let your grief be comforted by trust.

It's only for awhile that we must part

So bless the memories within your heart.

I won't be far away, for life goes on

So if you need me, call and I will come.

Though you can't see me or touch me, I'll be near

And if you listen with your heart you'll hear

All of my love around you soft and clear.

And then, when you must come this way alone,

I'll greet you with a smile and say

"Welcome Home."
