A Treasure Lost
An Earthbound treasure was lost today
God felt that His heaven needed a counselor
Someone who had experienced the tribulations of life
Someone who could help those who had lost their way
Looking down from above He made His selection
One of few years, but the experience of ages
Youth is but a word
He knew He had made the right choice
The call was made and answered
A mother lost to Earth
A mother called to Heaven
Children left to grieve
The lifeless form discovered
The call to 911
Answered by child, father and mother
An Earthbound treasure lost
Our God has needs in heaven
Needs not fathomable on earth
Selections though questionable
Are accepted with a sadness
In Heaven there is a presence
One who has experienced the joys of life
One who has experienced the pains of life
One who can explain the meaning of life
Those arriving with questions
Now have a source of counsel
Someone to take them in tow
To comfort and quiet them
Our loss on Earth is a plus in Heaven
Our daughter and mother
Awaits those needing comfort
As they enter the haven of Heaven

Wisdom
Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.
--E. L. Doctorow
It is the writer who might catch the imagination of young people, and plant a seed that will flower and come to fruition.
--Isaac Asimov
The Butterfly
"The butterfly is ever more blessed than other creatures of flight. Though all grace the heavens in the ecstasy of flight, the butterfly has known the drudgery of the crawl and the lonely confinement of the cocoon. His new found freedom is richer, wilder and more thrilling than life itself. This is the beauty of recovery.
--Author Unknown
To be nobody but yourself--in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else--means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.
~E.E. Cummings
Serenity Prayer
God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the thing I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.
You Are Loveable
We go back...and back...and back...through the layers of fear, shame, rage, hurt, and negative incantations until we discover the exuberant, unencumbered, delightful, and lovable child that was, and still is, in us.
