                                              of a day well lived a day where you 
                                   laughed and cried and held dear the essence
                                  of your spiritual truths you sought light you drew
                                              light to you, you pushed boundaries
                                                    you accepted limitations nothing is 
                                                           outside the realm of possibilities
                                                          and dreams, dream with all your

                                                      lay your head upon your
                                                        pillow and close your
                                                         eyes  smile at the
                                                          knowledge that
                                                            tomorrow is a

Tyesha Ehigiator March 19, 2009 at 5:46 PM Such a amazing write, Crafted so beautifully in shape and tone with a profound message..I long for peace as you have clearly revealed here.. It seems like some days I feel I gain a step only to be pushed back three more..There are some days that are filled with much sorrow and they just seem to go on forever, I am glad to see those gone..Realizing that tomorrow is another day and it is brand new so who knows what it will bring...I thank God for each day we can start all over..Huggss, Tyesha
