A Time-Out From Life

Can I get a time-out
      you know, from life

    Some space to breathe
      a respite from internal strife

    To assess my present and past
      to project a future that will last

    A pause to refresh body and soul
      a chance to rewind before I grow old

It would be nice if we came with a personal pause button. I would hold it at all the good parts... for a long time. As they are the best to remember... Love this... Ann

We can pause our computers... Why not pause the computers on top of our necks?!!

We all need what you are requesting Gershon, I read my bible and listen to Chrisitan music. I take my collie Tavi for long walks in the woods. continue to read and do research both on the net and with great books. That is how I deal with the world when it throws me lemons. I like this request Gershon have a peaceful week and do something you enjoy doing...
