"The winter wind comes in its time / Nor does it hesitate / But I will set down in my rhyme / What I do while I wait"

We Win in the End

All of the ghosts of my past are at last
Dead and gone away and I am alone
With the future presently rising fast
And it will be good as the years have shown
This book of my life by chapter by verse
Progresses toward the better from the worse

I win in the end I have always known

But what a struggle it has been
And what a lot of pain
What disappointment I have seen
And must see yet again

The autumn rain has come the birds have flown
But I have three children I have a friend
Even if the end should come tomorrow
No matter what now I win in the end
I embrace life in its joy its sorrow
And in its apparent meaninglessness

The winter wind comes in its time
Nor does it hesitate
But I will set down in my rhyme
What I do while I wait

Love those who love me laugh at those who hate
Pity those who curse me bless those who bless
And always join with those who celebrate
This life as I do yielding to our fate
With confidence we will somehow get by
And live all we can before we must die

We win in the end we have always known

"Love those who love me laugh at those who hate
Pity those who curse me bless those who bless"

Even though, dear brother, that it is human nature to hate those who hate us, and pity those who curse our very existence, I cannot help but feel that they are the ones who need our love the most. While it is human nature to expound on those who judge us unfairly, and punish us with their selfishness, we must always have a forgiving heart, and wish those who would see harm come to us, good fortune. "To love is divine..." It took me many years of sadness and loneliness, to discover that hatred is not the way to punish those who have punished us, but a way to ease our souls, so that our lives may be freer and happier, with a lot less burden. This is a very good write Steven. May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, stubborn to a fault, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your still very sad and terrified little sister, Barbie

"If I have to be this girl in me, Then I may as well be."
