• Take Me as you Find Me
• Don't Throw it all Away

Take me as you Find Me

by Laurie c.2000

I am sentimental, old school values, I am sensitive, but strong............
I am a silly - heart, I am kind and honest,
I am angry for being wronged.
I can dream and forgive, I can be stubborn when I believe that I am right.
I am sassy and bold, I think I am in control
I can be at a stand off when I am offended , I take things to the heart.
I am proud of who I am and where I am from.
I carry my own baggage, I won't weigh you down.
I cry when I am sad, I try not to judge anyone, I try not to hold grudges.
I am protective, I love forever,
I pray every night.
This is me , please take me as you find me.............

Don't Throw it all Away

by Laurie c.2000

When you have it all, everything right here, you want it,

You have someone to give all their love to you,

The world don't seem so big after all,

Then the old pains show up wearing some kind of disguise,

You don't even recognize them at first.

It's so easy to throw it all away for something that wasn't worth what you give up,

All the love and hate it brings,

It will knock you down for throwing it all away.....

With loving hearts and a little faith, you'll get it back.

The good things will always stay with you.

Take it to heart, take all the wisdom it brings.

So when it comes again, it won't be so easy to throw it all away....
