After Thought ( I speak to you)

Contributed by Archie on Thursday, 29th September 2005 @ 02:21:52 PM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems



I have thought hard about our dealings
I have considered the motives of my heart
In it I have found this answer
What better companion should I ever want
than one to help teach me these things

Give courage to face dangers
that I would not face alone
Give me a heart that's loyal honest and true

Show me the way to say the things
we do not want to hear
that may be hard for other men to do

Teach to me long suffering
to put up with my brothers
and the many mistakes they will make

Teach me to still trust in them
though they hurt and use me
help me give forgiveness for their sake

Grant to me empathy
to know how others feel
that they may borrow without usury

I hope that when I am in need
that they will not forget me
and help me when bound to be set free

From the depths of wisdom
give me understanding
to always do and teach what is right

Help me not forget my place
when facing adverse opponents
that they are not my enemies to fight

Instill within me reason
to speak unto my brothers
and that they may do the same to me

To live in expectation
reciprocating mercy
at every apt oppotunity

And so I leave you with these things that I have learned
that you said are not greatly needed
Only time will show when life's brought to affect
and through hard times I'll let these guide me.

Yes Archie:

Another beautiful write here my friend.

We must repair our self images, vanity, renew our idenities, have a great make-over.

There is a lot of loss of love and security, and there is much need for someone to care for each of us.

We need not to be discouraged, there are prosperous times of pleasure ahead for the young and the old. Full of wisdom in this right.

Thank you,

Raquel Leah :D
