Out of the Dark
When you’re struggling you feel the sensuous voice of the darkness trying to dim your light, often using the voices of those around you. This was my response. Be your own light Deb xx
I See You Now
Age brings with it understanding. You see why your party’s may not have aged happily, lost their spark, become frustrated and disillusioned. You can learn from that and I’m grateful for the lessons my parents showed me.
Sugar-coated
My life is sugar-coated by moneyGlossed like an expensive donutWith the good old sturdy cake beneathPeople look at it and see the sparkleBut rarely the emotional costYou don’t dare to complainBecause you have MONEY It is one thing to be gratefulFor what you do haveAnd I am so gratefulIt is another to thinkThat the icingContinueContinue reading “Sugar-coated”
