"Leave the twitter and the twaddle / Nevermore to mollycoddle / These damned and draining fools / Life's to enjoy"

*One Girl One Boy: Play With Me* *for my friend Chanti* *My friend and fellow-victim at the hands* *Of hysterical and histrionic* *Friendly enemies with insane demands* *No sense of humor and unironic* *So lost within themselves they cannot see* *The light which shines for them this very hour:* *If they won't have it then let's you and me* *Enjoy it nor let their dark souls devour* *Those black holes take the glories of this day* *By which our God would beckon us away* *Into the life intended for us here* *A life of light and love and quiet joy* *Thus let us leave behind the pain and fear* *To step into the sun one girl one boy* *Leave the twitter and the twaddle* *Nevermore to mollycoddle* *These damned and draining fools* *Life's to enjoy* *And we are not their tools* *Step into the sun and play with me* *One girl one boy* *We'll all be better off you'll agree* *And they'll just have to work it out on their own* *We'll say "We've gone out to play: leave us alone"* *+Steven Curtis Lance* *Copyright MMV*

Yes, leave us alone and let us play...I love this! Ah, how so may of us get caught up in life that we forget.......

That is a lovely tribute to someone very special, Stevie. I relate to this because a lot of people say that I never "grew up." I don't take it as an insult even if it's meant derogatorily. Love, peace, and strength to you. Regis

My dear friend...
Thank you for this touching tribute. I know that we both have experience of traumatic love. It is good to know that we can still play.
