The Soul’s Dream
The sould it dwelleth deep within,
A unique well structured creation.
Using only spiritual strength for its strong foundation
The Soul it longeth to be free,
To soar and explore what is yet to be.
Compelled and driven it ventures forth,
With infinite purpose it stays on course.
When alas it finds its destiny,
The soul is released and peacefully freed.

Over the years I began to see what you meant,I remind you of yourself. We had so much in common until at times it was unbelievable. Talents, Gifts, Poetry,and even Fashion. We both had 2 sobs, 3 daughters and ni matter what, we were determined to raise them to kniw God. The distance couldn’t jeep us from talking. I’m grateful fir your encouraging words and laughter throughout the yrars. Take your REST and Know, God’s got your Children, Grandchildren and extended Family cuffed in the palm oh his hands.
Love Chandra
