This poem was inspired for the purposes of giving hope
to anyone who recognises that they live in fear.
Such hope and insight was shown to me by a friend and Mentor at the
very beginning of my conscious journey. 
She has continued to be a great support over the years
to myself and my children.  What a gift!   
From my experience I have learned  that fear does not
always present itself as a conscious feeling of being afraid, 
and in fact, sometimes the very opposite is true. 
Ego/fear has many faces and it's tricky. The truth IS fear
cannot exist in the light of love and indeed, 
even the smallest flame will bring light into the darkest chamber... 
 
 
 

A Place



Where I grew up, was a rough neighbourhood
Things around me weren't always so good
I learned to survive in this tunnel called life
Finding many ways to cope with all of the strife
And though things werent, always so great
I simply thought that it was my fate


Until one day,  an angel did come
She shone some light on my life so glum
Out of the depths where I'd so long resided
She taught me of trust and I finally confided
All the fears in me that till then were unknown
Her wisdom and love to me it had shown


That my life was a gift and surely worth living
I discovered the joy and sweet pain of giving
Over time my heart opened up to receive
My angel had brought me delightful reprieve
These days I am grateful and ever so humble
Knowing deep in my heart now, its ok to stumble


The tunnel I live in is now filled with light
I hope you all know that you have the right
To be who it is that you were meant to be
Close your eyes..look within
your own beauty you'll see.
