QUIET TIME WORD by Carla-Rae June 23, 2014

~THE SHELL~
(A Poem by Carla-Rae)

~If YOU want to live like HEAVEN and not HELL,
It is time to take a step outside YOUR shell.
All of life, and joy, and bliss, in LOVE abound.
YOUR choice to RISE or Stay below ground.

Just because folks DO what THEY DO,
Does not mean YOU should STOP being YOU.
YOU can remain angry and suspiciously alert,
Yet, truly, YOU are the only one YOU hurt.
While pushing away those who have beaten and abused YOU,
YOU close yourself off, from those who love,
and have never refused YOU.

I will not tell YOU what to do,
Though my example may guide YOU.
OPEN YOUR heart wide and full.
SURRENDER, to LOVE'S PULL.
Let no cloud of doubt remain
or on YOUR life leave its stain.
The BRIEF pain YOU feel while getting there,
as YOU release life's pain, and despair,
Will pale in contrast to LOVE'S true BLISS,
While YOU declare 'I have waited my whole life for THIS.'

It is time for YOU and It is time for ME
I will hold your hand as we walk FREE,
Like HEAVEN, not HELL, finally, OPEN
OUT of the SHELL~

Peace and blessings for a great afternoon,
Carla-Rae
