Grace of 42

When the time is right for the child of laughter
Look on all corruption of love from anger
Place yourself in hands that could end the madness 
Fade into graceful

Hi Yoni, I was very upset when I previously commented on this write of yours. Now with a second read and time, I find it quite the inspirational piece and very wise words indeed. Thanks to you for sharing this piece, it is inspirationally, real life pieces as these that makes the soup a great place to read at. Got back early from my vacation, but I am rested, some of the works I deleted were saved by my editor, a few of my spiritual ones, which to me is the most important. :) God bless, Lucinda

Yes, I agree with this to a point, of course, to uncover lies, there is nothing wrong with truth. So, as to the Lord to soften my heart will be a grand thing to me.... and I do not take lightly anyone's words, I measure them with intent. This intent of this write is a beautiful work. I like it alot.

True message, Yoni, and well stated. It is far better to deal gracefully with adversity than it is to resort to "madness." Very inspirational!
