failure to thrive

No love never thrives outside of confidence

Sunday, March 7, 2004

when bestowing love,
return may not come quickly
this is not the means

~ ~ ~

yet when sharing love
your giving may seem fruitless,
still the blessings come

~ ~ ~

to maintain that love
you must learn to back away,
then it will expand

� 2004 by cynth'ya lewis reed

My, my... from your pen to my head and heart! Cynth'ya, you're a wonder, you are! I'm finding, reading you, that "half-baked"
thoughts from inside my head become fully baked when I read things like this... I guess they call that 'relating'... call it what
you will, I'm enjoying my reads. (smile) katy xox.

Amen to this my sistah and fellow Hoosier!
I see you are from Anderson! God luv ya, I'm from Warsaw and then Muncie where I attended the old Ball U for many years. What fun!
Stay warm up there my darling! If you need some sunshine though come to the sunny South!

Wonderful words. May we never have a failure to thrive though!

(((cyth'ya)))

if we crowd love, it will be crushed and die

we must nourish love tenderly and slowly

you speak with much power and truth

thank you

(((HUGS))) and love, karla. :)
