Becareful what you think you want, isn't always the best thing.
I hope that you receive, All the things you wish for I hope that your dreams All come knocking at your door You wanted me to go away And this I did with glee Your dark is filled with nightmares now Endless horror�s you can�t flee I hope you stop to think next time Before you utter a sound I hope you feel the gentle thud As they lower you into the ground

For sure JoAnna. A lot of times people speak, but I don't think they hear themselves when they do. Very nice work, well written and oh so true. May the Lord be with you, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy tot he world, peace on earth, & (((HUGS))), Barbie
