Desicions

I've been struggling with what direction to take this in.  Do I put the focus on those know there's a problem, but don't realize the magnitude, write often sad, often shocking posts?  Do I focus on those who are completely blind to the epidemic, write posts filled with numbers, statistics? 
Do I focus on the rescuers, those who often so desperately need to see something positive, uplifting?  Do I focus on those of who know the truth, but are just tired of fighting, need to refocus, true but some times sad?
I came back to the last two choices.  Debating, thought about those souls that bathe us in complete, unconditional love.  I began to think about what love is.  How complicated, some times painful but often exhilarating it is.  We do it for love.  For the love of those precious souls and the love of around us who we hope to educate so they too can feel the power of that love.
I decided, today, I would just go with my feelings over the last few days.
If you have suggestions or opinions, they are always welcome.

I'm Still Here

Friend please don't mourn for me

I'm still here, though you don't see.
I'm right by your side each night and day
and within your heart I long to stay.

My body is gone but I'm always near.

I'm everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart
as long as you keep me alive in your heart.

I'll never wander out of your sight-

I'm the brightest star on a summer night.
I'll never be beyond your reach-
I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.

I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around

and the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond,
The clear cool water in quiet pond.

I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring,

The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
and you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.

When you start thinking there's no one to love you,

you can talk to me through the Lord above you.
I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
and you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.

I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep

and the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face.
Just look for me, friend, I'm everyplace!

Dear God,
     Please find me a home today. I'm scared and lonely and I heard them say something about my time being almost up.

Love,
