What More Shall I Ask

It doesn't really matter these casualties of the life I've lived; for from my 
heart is the esteem to give.

Seeing things in an endeared light through the same eyes and perhaps much 
brighter.

The world had tangled me into believing I was this complex being, but I stand 
here as the shadows part my path-- knowing there's lessons learned and 
courage is merely allowing truth to reign high on my journey - so hold fast to 
those simplicities that get the heart pumping and release childish inhibitions.

I like Saturdays with Mom; lunch at eleven o' clock sharp and I leave with a 
bunch of things I really don't need. I like time spent with the children for it 
warms the soul. I like drives in the country, remembering how it used to be 
and knowing above all things that success isn't a goal- it's a way of life; it 
doesn't involve money, fortune or fame. It is what tender marks we imprint 
here and there that leave a lasting affect as a whole.

I thought about what could I do that I have not already done and my list 
became vague; for within my God Given name are the meaning  "Light" 
and "Love".

As I walk, He walks with me. As I speak about Him, He is in the midst. 

As I write He blesses this for He knows my intent. What more shall I ask?



Author note: My name is Miss Lucinda Lu Cayton ( Cindy is a nickname my 
family called me, a name in school).
