The length of my days Will be measured by love The depth of my life Will be filled with tears The width of my journey Will be edged in joy The height of my dreams Will be scaled by pain The breadth of my soul Will be singed with fate The parameters of my joy Will be bordered with fear The limits of my mercy Will be blocked by greed The scales of my judgement Will be weighed by truth The length of my days Will be measured by love��

Wonderful honesty and inspiration contained here, Linda, and I love the cyclical quality to this, with love at the hub. This wisdom write does much to keep the wheels oiled and rolling along in my mind - thank you! You report on the pitfalls, too! :)) TY Kate xx

Wonderful write. I think we, the humans, are very tolerant to many things in our lives, and you've just summed them all up with this wonderful write. Enjoyed.
