THE IMAGINARY WISHING WELL

By Neal W. Hamilton

I KNOW THE TWO OF YOU DON'T KNOW ME,
AND YOU PROBABLY DON'T KNOW MY NAME.
BUT I HAVE A LITTLE GIFT FOR YOU
THAT CAN HELP TO EASE YOUR PAIN.

NOW MY LITTLE GIFT IS NOT SOMETHING
THAT YOU CAN TOUCH OR YOU CAN FEEL.
BUT PLEASE BELIEVE ME WHEN I TELL YOU
THAT MY GIFT IS VERY REAL.

NOW WHAT I HAVE TO GIVE YOU
LITTLE AMANDA AND LITTLE MICHELLE,
IS SOMETHING I LIKE TO CALL
AN IMAGINARY WISHING WELL.

SEE, YOUR MOTHER REALLY MISSES YOU,
AND LOVES YOU VERY MUCH.
SHE LONGS TO HEAR YOUR LAUGHTER
AND TO FEEL YOUR GENTLE TOUCH.

BUT THERE ARE TIMES WHEN SHE CAN'T BE THERE
WHEN SHE REALLY WISHES SHE COULD,
BECAUSE SOMETIMES THINGS DON'T WORK OUT
THE WAY WE WISH THEY ALWAYS WOULD.

SO THE NEXT TIME YOUR MOTHER CAN'T BE THERE
LITTLE AMANDA AND LITTLE MICHELLE,
JUST LOOK FOR HER REFLECTION
IN YOUR IMAGINARY WISHING WELL.

THE GIFT

THIS IS A LETTER TO YOU.
TO YOU, THE UNBORN CHILD.
I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL EVER KNOW YOU,
OR HAVE THE PRIVILEGE TO SEE YOUR SMILE.

BUT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL MOTHER,
WHO GIVE ALL SHE CAN FOR YOU.
AND WHENEVER YOU ARE FACED WITH ANY TROUBLE,
SHE WILL SEE YOU THROUGH.

SO WHAT I AM TELLING YOU IS THAT YOU HAVE A GIFT,
A GIFT FROM GOD ABOVE.
IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL GIFT YOU'LL EVER RECEIVE.
IT'S THE GIFT OF YOUR MOTHER'S LOVE.

LET ME TELL YOU A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
BEFORE I TELL YOU MY NAME.
I LIVE DEEP WITHIN YOUR THOUGHTS.
I'M STRONGER THAN DEPRESSION OR SHAME.

IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW STRONG YOU ARE,
OR HOW LONG YOU'VE BEEN ALIVE.
I WILL ALWAYS BE A PART OF YOUR LIFE.
I'M POWERFUL, AND I WILL SURVIVE.

SO NOW THAT YOU KNOW A LITTLE ABOUT ME,
AND THAT I WILL ALWAYS BE NEAR,
YOU MUST NEVER UNDERESTIMATE MY POWER,
AND REMEMBER THAT MY NAME IS FEAR.

THE BEAUTY OF THE ROSE

The rose is one of God's most beautiful creations.
He took all the beautiful colors of the earth and
created the rose. When man first saw the rose, he
was intimidated by it. It was so beautiful, yet it had
thorns that could tear flesh in an instant. Today, we
should all admire the beauty of the rose, yet beware
of the sharpness of it's thorns.
