Re: Re:Gretchen... TRY IT!! - My Choice

[Guest guest]

Beautiful and sweet ! It is in my poem file ! I printed it off awhile back.......

thank you ~ Love DSee what's free at AOL.com.

[Guest guest]

Gretchen,

I've posted this poem before I wrote called My Choice.

My choice,

I always wondered why bad things happened to me,

Peace, happiness, good fortune always eluded me,

I prayed, kept the faith and listened to my inner

voice,

That is when I finally realized I have a CHOICE.

I didn't choose to have bad things happen to me and I

know I can,

CHOOSE to love and accept myself for the wonderful

person I am.

I CHOOSE to forgive myself for any past mistakes,

I CHOOSE to allow me a more compassionate person to

make.

I am a winner, I am a fighter, I am inspirational and

very loving.

I can take bad things and make into something good

coming.

If I become troubled again, I'll turn to the Lord to

guide me.

Appreciating and loving all those who walk beside me

in my life’s Journey.

Please print it off and put it somewhere you can

easily find it.

Hugs & prayers,

Traci

Gretchen, I do agree with Patty. Honey, we all love you and want you to get well. This will not be easy, and it might take months to get well. Please try to find a way to help other women who are sick. When you help people, it makes you feel good. We all need your help.

Love you always.....Lea
