Heart-safe

I once loved the adventure in pursuit of fun and pleasure
I once was an adrenaline junkie
I once left my heart open to the options out there
I once was nearly completely destroyed
 
Now I am much more careful and conservative
Now I make an effort to not see the starry places
Now I try to see only what is real and safe
Now is much less interesting
 
Can I ever reach the place of balance?
To truly find fun and remain quite safe?
I want to see the stars again, and yet,
To also remain with heart intact!

I was always an adrenaline junkie, always hurt too. That is until I met Alan. I am safe, secure and starry eyed too. You CAN have it all. However, if I personally could only have one, I'd take safe and secure. JMHO. You're a real beauty, God's perfect Gem.

Love you, Janet xx

So much has changed over the years, but an adrenaline junkie I think I will always be as I know God is always there...

Be always safe,
Karen
