Thank you, for the uplifting comment.  I appreciate that.  I think I feel somewhat better today.  My mind is already going, so that is a good sign.  (smile) 

That is an absolutely beautiful poem.  Thank you so much for sharing.  I was so happy to find people like you on xanga.  I was beginning to think that maybe this website was strictly for young & wild teens, but then I started finding people like you, and I can’t tell you how much that means to me, to be able to share & relate with others what is really more important.  I started this whole thing because of my daughter, so that I could communicate with her.  She lives with her dad.  I guess it really bothered me as a mother to see all of the filth that her and her friends put on Xanga, and I let her know in a nice way how that made me feel………..and she has disowned me since.  It has been over a month.  Talking about breaking my heart, but she wants me to be the kind of mom that doesn’t ever say anything, that just lets her do whatever, like her dad does, and she wants me to applaud every little wrong doing.  It is tough being a parent, and I know that God would not want me to do that, and I feel as a good mom would do, that I should be a good example, and show her love, and stability, and consistancy, etc., but at the same time…give her guidance, and not applaud what she does, instead…..let her know how I feel, and that I worry about her.  She turned 16 in September.  Her dad lets her get in the car with her boyfriend around 10:00 am, and run around with him all day, until late at night, on the weekends.  I can’t deny the fact that I do not like that, at all.  To top it all off, I think she is into the Gothic thing.  She has beautiful dishwater blonde hair….she died it black.  Am I being too harsh?  I don’t even know what got me started on this.  I guess it is just one of the things I have had on my mind.  I am so sorry for rambling on.  I just feel that it is natural for any good mother to worry like I am, about my daughter.  She came to me several months back, wanting me to help supply her with birth control pills, and of course….I believe that if you do that, you are telling them to go ahead and do it, and so I wouldn’t for several good reasons.  Anyway….visiting you at your website, is so uplifting, and I really appreciate you, and others the same.  I hope you have a wonderful day.  Love & prayers, May God Bless. 

Have a wonderful weekend!
