HOPE

From the darkness into the light,
Slowly at first and then...
The pace quickens in an erratic sort of way until...
Hope returns and a future once dismissed, seems possible again.

Dark and gloomy inward ponderings are replaced by
Light and outward dreams of endless possibilities...

Life is precious.. a gift to be cherished...
One must not discount life's nurturing character by underestimating it's power.

An opportunity has presented itself to us...
Each of us has the capacity to choose how we shall spend our lives on this earth.
We are thankful for our existence, yet we accept that our lives are not infinite...
For we understand that life offers each of us...
A brief window of time to share our lives
With those dearest to our hearts. 02/14/05 -- Lenore
