K aleidoscope: a constantly changing set of colors, A ccording to the American Heritage Dictionary. In
R eality, it reflects the many moods of me changing L ike mercury. They shine through bits of broken glass, A ll these words I've penned, to shatter into pieces ---
J ust like my life. Dreams thrown into piles of failure, E verything I'd worked for gone in a mad.rush of wind, A nd yet, I hope. Hope for better days, when I don't N eed to worry where my next meal is coming from, or
D on't have to depend on others to prove my worth --- O h, but would that day come soon. Until then, I R ebuild my house upon the foundation of prayer --- M y God will get me through come Hell or high water. A nd so, I write, looking to the One Who gave me these N eeded words to spark hope like rainbows after a storm.

Karla, how beautifully said. The sadness of the past, the hope of the future. Your words give me the feeling of knowing you, of actually knowing you and I know I am the better for it.
Thank you... Mark

Hi Karla, Needed words, indeed! Keep on building that house on the only stable foundation there is... as we can see, you can do that word by word... excellent pen, my friend! stay strong...
Hi Karla, you always have the answers in your mind...and this time they came thru even more profoundly in your words! Great job...and happy that you always know there is light at the end of the everending dark tunnel! (by the way, I've tried to email your other address, and it keeps coming back??) hugs, lindalaw
This is very powerful and sincere. Wonderful Karla. Your right. You don't have to look to others for your worth. Jesus knows you, loves you, and created you. No bad. Right?
Very strong piece, Karla! It speaks of great hope, faith and strength...all of these you have. A wonderful look into your heart and soul. Excellent answer to the challenge! Hugs, Elizabeth :)
Just vulnerable now, Karla. A natural state when times are hard. I'm impressed by the honesty of this write. Especially like the first stanza--powerful feeling and imagery!
You are a melancholic like I am. And still you move upon the hearts and minds of so many. Diligently pressing forward towards an uncertain earthly goal, but an unwavering spiritual one. Some people get their rewards in this life, some will get theirs in the next. An excellent insight into you here dear Karla-friend.
Blessings ...
Karla, good though sad response to Bear Paw's challenge.

I think you have responded very well to Carolyn's challenge, Karla. The bonus for your readers is that we get to know you a bit better. Thanks for sharing. Love and peace to you,
The experience of a young adult trying to figure out what they want to do for employment or education can be overwhelming. My book will give them insight to what it means to be a carpenter. And the progress unions have made in discrimination.
