Love is as strong as death....

Life's Tug Of War

Life can seem ungrateful ~ and not always kind.
Life can pull at your heartstrings ~ and play with your mind.
Life can be blissful ~ and happy and free.
Life can put beauty ~ in the things that you see.
Life can place challenges ! right at your feet.
Life can make good ~ of the hardships that we meet.
Life can overwhelm you ~ and make your head spin.
Life can reward those ~ determined to win.
Life can be hurtful ~ and not always fair.
Life can surround you ~ with people who care.
Life clearly does offer ~ its ups and its downs.
Life's days can bring you ~ both smiles and frowns.
Life teaches us to take ~ the good with the bad.
Life is a mixture ~ of happy and sad.
So...
Take the life that you have ~ and give it your best.
Think positive, be happy ~ let God do the rest.
Take the challenges ~ that life has laid at your feet.
Take pride and be thankful ~ for each one you meet.
To yourself give forgiveness ~ if you stumble and fall.
Take each day that is dealt you ~ and give it your all.
Take the love that you're given ~ and return it with care.
Have faith that when needed ~ it will always be there.
Take time to find the beauty ~ in the things that you see.
Take life's simple pleasures ~ let them set your heart free.
The idea her is simply ~ to even the score
As you are met and faced with ~ Life's Tug Of War.
There are only two ways to live your life;
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as though everything is.

Acceptance-------- "I find that when we really love and accept and approve of ourselves exactly as we are, then everything in life works." -------- Louise Hay.

I watch from my seated position as he rides in from the distance.

The wind tickles my nose and its fingers dance lightly across my skin.

His face shows the weariness of another long day, the dust

surrounding his clothes from the ride. He has mended the fences, 

herded the cattle and now cares for the horse he has been astride 

much of the day.

His hands though strong are soft upon my skin and his eyes always

shine with love.

He is broad in the shoulder and could fight a bull, but one tender

look and he melts into a teddy bear.

His arms hold me tight and demand love in return but never with 

words only with his cowboy charm......................

Acting As If

You toss and turn

Reach for me

Toss and turn again 

I reach for you

We fight ourselves

In this friendship

We pretend to control

Yet we fall back to each other

As if it's all we have

Ever known...

I pretend I won't fall

As do you

Yet

Here we are

In the night

Holding each other

Laughing 

Talking

Sharing

Acting As If---?
