I wrote this for a very special friend. She knows who she is. I just wanted to share it with the rest of you.

I find myself on the downhill slide of yet another trial in my
life where confusion seemed to be the only thing I was sure of.


I get discouraged,
but I also have the ability to inspire and be inspired.

I become sad sometimes,
but I can also experience joy.

I can become angry,
but I have the heart to console.

I need to be forgiven sometimes (a lot)
but I can also forgive.

I feel helpless at times,
but can still lend a hand or ear to help others.

I am a teacher,
but I still have much to learn.

I get confused,
but deep down I know the answers are within my grasp.

Life is a series of lessons to be learned.
That is the only way we can grow.

I wish I had all the answers, but sometimes I think (I know) the
only way for us to become stronger and grow into what we are meant to be, is to walk through the fire.

Remember all the things you can be even when you are sometimes
those things you wish you weren't.

God Bless and take care!
