Elvis - A Lighted Candle

[juliepresleyfan]

for Elvis and friends

As I sat one day in summer
Here alone upon my bed
I gave thought to my situation
And to where my soul was lead

The man above, so filled with love
Who sent me souls to know
I thought of those still around
And the one’s who had to go

When a stranger becomes a friend
We are truly blessed
Friendship with its ups and downs
Can put you to the test

Its now or never, a wise man said
Take heed of what you do
Be careful my friend of what you say
Its possible to mend a thoughtless deed
But words cant be taken away

I sat and pondered long and hard
Of all the mistakes id made
Bad friends taught me so much more
Than the good ones id have to say

The good taught me love
And all its pure affection
The bad taught me defence
I can use in my protection

So to the bad, these words I say
What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger
You may not have known me very long
But you must live with yourself a lot longer

So to the good, I humbly do state
To be considered your friend
is a wonderful fate

Thanks for the faith you bestow on me
I hope I don’t let you down
But If I do, I pray you’ll forgive
Id cry if I made you frown

I am only human, and to faults
I am rather prone
But with the whole human race
In that I’m not alone

So if I make an error of fact
Or wrong judgement on word or action
Oh give me the chance to redeem myself
To your complete satisfaction

I would try my best to comfort you
And erase my wrong from your mind
Oh give me the chance to make amends
Our friendship to be redefined

thank you for loving me
And showing that you care
And for all you say and do
I will try to all ways be there
And remember I love you too

Julie.

Your beautiful and so meaning-filled poem is one I hope everyone here takes a few minutes to read and then spends time to think about the words.
You have a great amount of talent and when I read what you write I am inspired to think back along my life and the people I have known and still do know.
Like Elvis, your words cause one to stop and to think about what a word means in a context that it is part of, and for me that means the writer--in this case you---puts great thought and love into each and every word she or he writes.
Thank you for sharing your words that are filled with a chance for a person to think about life, outside of the confines of a box, so to speak.
always with love,

Dear Julie Sharon Rose,

You have a uncommon quality: YOU touches others hearts with your words and deeds. You are amazingly connected to Love in your own "humble" and quiet way. Everything you do when you do it connected to your heart, comes out as a gentle, light Love's caress, 'cause -I truly feel- you are a very gentle loving Being.

THANK YOU very much for your poem and for everytime you come to us with your loving touch.

Please, let me add a thought: Behind the need you have to be loved (as anybody else has), there's a stronger need to take care of others through Love. This is what ancient souls use to accomplish when they come to this lifetime. And there's a great need of souls like yours...

Abslutely true Amanda! And Julie, you are so needed by so many that you have no idea they are there, but you will. Time will bring new awareness and comfort to you as well as to the many people around you now and to come in the future. You have a purpose. Never fear. wjh
