Or Maybe... Its so hard for me to believe that all is hopeless That nothing can change except to regress Or maybe.... Are we to sit back and figure all is lost There is nothing "I" can do oh what will be the cost Or maybe... We think the hungry will never be fed The unbeliever never to be led Or maybe... The homeless to never have a home The broken hearted to always be alone Or maybe... That brother to brother will never live in peace That no common ground to be found that fighting will never cease Or maybe... Those who don't believe in what our brave protectors do That don't live what they say when "I support our troops" they spew Or maybe... That a child's heart for a mother can soften For all to realize tomorrow is not always an option Or maybe... That love is always the illusive dream That happiness is just not part of the scheme Or maybe... That the world and those who live within can never come together That so many have forgotten our Savior is our only life's buffer Or maybe...

As all of you who have followed my writing
over the years know that just about
all of my writes have been triggered by a song.
Well this morning I was actually searching
for a song that would possibly lay the ground
work for a Valentines write
(my most dreaded holiday),
but I ran across this song by Phil Collins,
one of my favorite artists, that I have
never heard before. To me it spoke
such truths of the unexplainable parts
of life. You all knowing me know that
I am one that feels there just has to
be something I can do to change it,
make it better or just make it go away.
But even I have to admit "sometimes"
that with the good, bad and ugly things
of life we just have to accept
That's Just How It Is....

Looking at the loving comments that have come before me, The Serinity Prayer does too come to mind. When we moved I placed the cross stitch I did for Mom above my computer desk. It is though, sometimes so hard to follow. The or maybe ... between each stanza you have placed here, is better than any bar you could have placed for this one. These two words, makes you really stop and think. Will our lives always be so hard to face each day. Maybe so ..... or maybe. Wonderful write my Dear Friend. Beautiful Graphics and I am going to snag your picture to put on my photo frame beside my desk. LOL Love you forever and always. KKL

"God grant me the SERENITY to accept the things I cannot change, COURAGE to change those things I can and... the WISDOM to know the difference" I think this runs along those lines dear, great to read.
