WELCOME TO MY GARDEN

This is a dedication page to special people in my life, and a place to see the people who mean so much to me.

First of all I want to thank my Husband Jason, who without him I wouldn't be the person I am today.  He has been my rock from day one and I am DEARLY in love with him forever.
"THANX SWEETHEART"

Now i want to say a HUGE thank you to my friends i have met over the internet.  I came across Parents Place.com almost a year ago and it wasn't long before I met some truly WONDERFUL women. 
I want to say how much I love these ladies (MY CYBERSISTERS) and how much they helped me through my miscarrage.

GARDEN OF DREAMS
If wishes were butterflies
And teardrops were flowers,
I'd have you here with me
In my garden of dreams;
My hopes would be raindrops;
My yearning, the sunshine;
And I'd paint with my brushes
The starry moonbeams . . .

I'd paint a huge canvas
Of love all in colors,
In colors of scarlet
And robin's egg-blue,
In splashes of lavender,
Slashes of ebony,
Touches of spruce,
And ivory, too.

My garden of dreams
Is awash all in colors,
Vibrant and glowing,
Graced by a dove;
My garden of dreams
Is a haven of wishes,
A soft, secret spot Protecting my love.

A blanket of color Protecting my love--
A canvas of wishes,
Bright colored wishes,
Wild, wanton wishes
In my garden of dreams.

Sonnet 18

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lively and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st.
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Willam Shakespeare

Rain & Rainbows

Words alone could never say
Enough to take the pain away
Only time can heal ones heart
A friendly word is a good place to start

Things will get better but it takes awhile
Accept the love of a healing smile
From your friends and family too
This is what will get you through

Life is full of pain and sorrows
It's also full of bright tomorrows
Before we can see the rainbow
We must first endure the rain
