I received your gift this morning - we will always be there for you..........
Everyone has to start somewhere,
No matter how daunting the slope
Though your spirits may sink to your bootstraps
And you may feel you simply won't cope -
But take just one step, then another,
Just a pace at a time, taking care,
And then, when you look for the summit
You'll suddenly find your're there!
Love, hope, and joy, fair pleasure's smiling train,
Hate, fear, and grief, the family of pain,
These mix'd with art, and to due bounds confined,
Make and maintain the balance of the mind;
The lights and shades, whose well accorded strife
Gives all the strength and colour to life.
We all take different paths in life, but your words and compassion will be with me always..........
