Yeah, yeah - I know I'm just one more person to talk about this poem after Chelsea and Mark brought it out into the light again, but it truly is beautiful.
The Life That I Have by Leo Marks
The life that I have is all that I have
And the life that I have is yours
The love that I have of the life that I have
Is yours and yours and yours.
A sleep I shall have, a rest I shall have
Yet death will be but a pause
For the peace of my years in the long green grass
Will be yours and yours and yours.
If you would like to learn more about Leo Marks (a really interesting fella) you will have to cut and paste this link as I have tried and tried and can't get the link to post...

This started as a weekly e-mail to keep my out of state family in touch with my kids. It has evolved into a blog for family and friends about my family's trials, tribulations and my various inner monologues...
My favorite quote
"I just wanted to tell you that your kids are the ONLY reason I will have kids when I'm older..."

A Return to Love by Marianne Wiliamson
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
The Singing Fire by Lilian Nattel
"It isn't true that a mother is born with her child. It may happen sometimes by an act of grace, but most often a mother is made as she struggles with her need for sleep and freedom of movement, over and over choosing to hold and feed and wrap a loudly wailing, soft-skinned being that produces marvelously pungent odors."
Le Petite Prince: Antoine de Saint-Exupery
"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye."
"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;
