Dear Beverly

Just stopped in to say hello.

            Mi Amor, you remembered me.

Always.

Beverly Ann Kegley Carvajal

What is the human spirit?

Kindness and caring?
Lies, deceit and games?
Love and tenderness?
Control and calculation?

I have to come down on the side of ...
Kindness and caring.
Love and tenderness.

Love without condition is, I think, the mark of the best of us.

Your word is all you have.
Once given, no matter the consequences, it must be honored.
That too, I think, marks the best of us.

Love and honor.

But what of anger and hate?
How does one resolve the conflict that rages within?
How can one not hate the one who filled your world with ...

Lies
Deceit
Control
and Pain

How does one let go of the anger?
Through love?

Have a tune for you today ... enjoy

Rodney Atkins: Honesty

He said, "Just think it over and write me a list so we can figure out what we both deserve"
She hardly could believe it, that their love had come to this
Dividing and deciding his and hers
But she grabbed a paper napkin and asked the waitress for a pen
And one by one she wrote down what she wanted most from him

Honesty, sincerity, tenderness and trust
A little less time for the rest of the world
And more for the two of us
Kisses each mornin' I love you's at night
Just like it used to be
The way life was when you were in love with me

She reached across the table and placed it in his hand
And said, "You know this isn't easy for me"
As he thought about the new car, the house and the land
And wondered what that bottom line would be
And a thousand other things that she'd want him to leave behind
But he never dreamed he'd open up that napkin and find

Honesty, sincerity, tenderness and trust
A little less time for the rest of the world
And more for the two of us
Kisses each mornin' I love you's at night
Just like it used to be
The way life was when you were in love with me

Well, he fought back the tears as he looked in her eyes
And said, "I don't know where to start"
She looked at him and said, "Everything on that list in your hand
is written somewhere in your heart"

Honesty, sincerity just like it used to be
The way life was when you were in love with me
