Wisdom by Barbara Goodhew

To be thought of as wise.

Is a good disguise.

Hiding the fears.

Never showing tears.

Being strong because afriad of being weak.

So seeing the beauty in life.

Keeps from having alot of strife.

Barb, good points to ponder..
there is a time to be strong and not to be strong,the beauty of it remains seen in ones heart...best thing in all situations is to be yourself. ..i'm like everybody else...i become strong when my family and friends need me..otherwise yea i am a weak and fragile flower, i believe we get our inner strength from a higher source...your knowledge is very high powered... ..

Sometimes, When We Close, Our Heart's Eyes,We See
Barb,

Life is hard, we all know that, for shelter, sometimes, we slip, into our hearts. Then, we see, eveything as it was meant to be, yet sometimes, we have to close, the eyes, of of heart's so...,so, we can see.

This is a stand up poem, everyone should applaud the the words of your, and our hearts, you speak, so well, for all of us, you bring us to heaven, back from hell.

Perhaps, to much, Barb, these words I say, yet, you more than share your heart with us, you share, yesterday and tomorrow. I pray in the morning, I see the sun shine. That is all, I have to say.
