you have opened your arms and embraced a hurting soul
the hand you have extended knows the bitter toll
of the pain and hardship that your friend cannot see
it is his lesson now to learn in humility

those of us that suffer must open our eyes to find
purpose in offering our vision to others blind
the grace we are given has a need to be shared
and no person on earth should ever be spared

in times of anothers hardships, God definately knows
who is the right person needed to intervien and to show
the road he walks down has potholes you know very well
and the dead end sign at the end is sheer hell.

mdear, you have done all that you can do
it is he that now needs to think his life through.
the pain of withdrawel may or may not end
but he will always know the care of a true friend


i have lost many to addiction to painkillers. it is one of the hardest things to go through.

i woke up this morning with hope in my heart and a smile on my face. something not felt in a long time....

rain is here and it is mushroom hunting season. i found many chantrells, and a big one that look like a brain.. (forgot what its called) cooked it up last night with cooking sherry and fresh rosemary... YUM
