SPIRIT There was a time when I felt despair all alone, frantic, a sadness overcame me then there was an angel I heard her, she touched my life opened my mind to feelings brought me back to the world with my friends and family dear she made me believe in a dream, life worth living, goals to struggle for, we said go back to your basics care for yourself and your family our secret among angels, I remembered all of my loved ones; and the sadness fades behind love and dreams. confidence in self carries the day brought me a prayer of peace and goals for the future, leading questions when I am lonely or weak I call to her and listen strong and accomplished I call her empathy for others I call on her and listen often she listens and touches me again; gently reassuring me life goes on among angels guardians, family, friends caring for each other communion of spirits     july 98
