Making A Sacrifice For Love...
20 August, 2004

God has touched my life
I found out even if
I do not meet up to my own expectations
I still gain

cause God is in my heart
and number one in my life

I have a purpose to others
sometimes we are willing to make a sacrifice
for a family or a friend

very seldom do we make a sacrifice for a stranger
nor do we let them in

when I came home
from work this morning
something unusual
came over me

I saw my life where it was
where it had been and where it was going
through all the folks that have
crossed my path

that thought brought me straight to my Lord
perhaps because I was faced with something
that held me down

it reminded me that I was once a stranger
in someone elses heart
and they kept the chain of love
intact with guidance from above

as they pulled me out of the dark and lonely night
and brought me into Gods divine light
and after that my burden
seemed so much lighter on my heart
to help someone whos world

was much darker than mine...

------- Author's Notes -------

we make unconditional sacrifices because of love...

very good

Terrie that's the way everyone should think that there are people out there that have a worse life than I do, that's how I think, whenever I start to feel sorry for myself and it smartens me up real quick.:))))

Barb, thank you doll..

yes, many times we wake up to a world w/our eyes open but ..we fail to see the important things that exist BECAUSE...our hearts are closed tight...to what really matters in life...makes one wonder deep... W.W.J.D?..What a better way to start , w/our ownself..by making the first sacrafice.. if we can make a small/big sacrafice we truely know LOVE....

Love, Is Returned, Sometimes, When you Are A Lone

Lift, that little puppy, up to your face, so, many kisses, fill an empty place. Give food and water to your pet, parakeet, hear the songs of gratitude, for your gift of love.

Sit alone at night, think of what you have shared, did you bring love, into someone else's life? It doesn't take much, to make a lonely heart smile, just a word, perhaps, just a smile. Terrie, you have the grace, the kindness of heart, to think about a puppy's love, people can respond the same way. I thank you for your poem, we all need to realize. the love that we share, is the love, that comes back to us, even on a lonely night, your soul is full, of love, with the love you shared today, nothing silly, about puppy love, it comes back to us, if, we have a loving heart.

I love this tender poem, Terrie, you are so kind, to remind us, love is a simple thing, but, only when we give, and not expect, to receive.

your words bring so much kindness....

i am always so touched when i get an embracing comment from you..your an honored gift i accept and recieve upon every sunrise , and kiss good night before every sunset....love indeed is a simple thing to give, when you have too much of..
when one has none to give then it is up to you and i to share that love..from two warm loving hearts......
