One year into recovery...I just wrote this tonight. Still needs some work but I hope it gives hope to someone who reads<p>Closed curtains keep me from the windowless world I long to explore
I don't want my blinds drawn and hanging down anymore
Out there lies a gleaming treasure store
Let me not live boxed in double-glazed "pane!"
I have wasted life
Been temporarily insane
"Windex" revelation!
Life begins AGAIN!
I see clearly now
Within me I know how
To move past protective barricades
To risk mischievous and mighty escapades
To live without windshield wiper blades
And truly taste the rain
No longer running from the pain
Time to really use my brain!<p>Let this become my new refrain:<p>The journey past the window
Into the world of lessons and life
Is worth every risk
There are wildflowers I long to softly kiss
An urgency not to miss
All this...
You have given me a world to explore!<p>Courage, Lord, please to find You in it.<p>Copyright Miriam Leslie February 23, 2002 [img]images/icons/grin.gif" border="0[/img]
