Sunday, Sep 9 2007 - beyond my dreams
View WILLLOSEIT's food & exercise for this day
there's a place i go to
when i feel very sad
when my days are harried
and my sleep is bad
a place of comfort
and life long past
where my smile is always
and my memories hold fast
beyond my dreams
and away from the abyss
a place of solitude
a place of bliss
a haunting place
but peaceful just the same
laughter is the thunder
sweetness is the rain
i find myself there
adrift on a cloud
where i face my fears
and shout them out loud
i will not give up
lord, i am giving in every way
to fight all the demons
that confront me every day
i look for the love
for the strength deep in side
for the energy to carry me
for my spirit, for my pride
the power is stronger
in this place where i go
my doubts are forbidden
my fears can not grow
so i go there often
to dig for the gold
to lift what is my burden
to embrace, to be bold
to bury my anger
and hold my head up high
to soar like an eagle
and know i can fly
there's a place i go
where i am at my best
where fears don't plaque me
where angers lay at rest
it is here where grace
is a gift with a bow
it is here where her garden
finds her flowers to grow
beyond her dreams
and deep in her heart
is the place she is born
where her doubts live not
so going there often
is how she gets by
and the struggles she faces
sees the look in her eyes
that tells them stand back now
she is all that and more
a woman of courage
and worth fighting for
so look for this place
we all have inside
for each day is worth living
not a place to hide
and go there when needed
to rest and breath deep
the air of confidence
the joy you will keep
yes
there's a place I have found
that you must find too
where your rainbow will be there
it's just waiting for you
...what is beautiful
is not always visible
what is strength
is not always strong
but it is all there...

Congrats on your 30lbs loss!!! That is wonderful. I am also a watermelon lover! It is my favorite summer fruit. Although they sell it year round, I only buy it in the summer. It's just not the same eating it in Feb!!! Have a good week. Sue

Hi Grace,
:cry3: I am up 2 pounds today--I have a mental block about getting below 235. I don't know why I am doing this to myself.
:$
That is a beautiful poem. You have a great talent. I am doing okay during the week but the weekends are kicking my butt.
