Hey, people! SMILE!! This is a repost, and a genuine reflection of how I'm feeling at the moment, notwithstanding my current, but, I believe, totally resolvable health issues. Thank you so very, very much for the huge amounts of love, support and prayer which I know for certain sure are coming my way, whether you know what I'm drivelling on about or not...!! All will be revealed in due course, cos, you know me, just can't keep it in. Just gettin me puff back, then guess it will be "business as usual" just asap...

Neah... Whassup, Doc?! :))
Karrot-crunching Kate xx


BEAUTIFUL SMILE


We may be
damaged people,
but we still have
Beautiful Smiles;

not testament
of where we have been,
or vain symbol of
triumphal victory,

but a sign
of the vision
of where it is
we are headed,
and of the Spirit
that will take us there.


The sign is shared,
person to person,
and many who
pursue its path
know of its
meaning.

It imparts
a knowledge of
inner peace,
reconciliation,
resolution -

and, above all,
a future hope:


like sunshine
through the rain,
this human rainbow,
fragmented
and reflected
through
the multitudes,

says that
All Will Be Well.

Oh Kate, I do pray for you. This is a beautiful poem that many may not understand. When you know that you know that you know and pray to God that others will get it.

Hi Sweet KATE
Glad to see all went well with you and your hospital visit. This poem of yours is right on the mark and from seeing all the pictures I have of you your smile is one of warmth that is quite infectious that shines through even in your written work. I may not be on line much longer but I will treasure your poetry and reviews always.
Big hug,

Pops *Felix*
