On Higher Grounds

May 222007

I’ve searched for love in funny places
I’ve searched for love in funny ways
I’ve searched for love both high and low
I’ve searched for it in all my days

Yet often did I wonder
And often did I cry
Not knowing where the roads may lead to
Not knowing what I’ll ever find

‘Til I sat in silence along the way
‘Til I listened to my heart and prayed
That I realized love was always there
And that love shall always stay

I grasped it and I let it go
I breathed it in and I breathed it out
I tasted it and cherrished it
I held it with my trembling palm

For love has been there all along
And love will guide me ‘til I’m home
What I have sought I know I’ve found
And my heart shall rest on higher grounds

Letters to Joyce

Agnes { Dear Joyce, Hi! I have been an avid reader of your blog about a year an a half ago when I too have been experiencing heartbreak and burden in my life. Your words have really been a pat on my shoulder and a hug rolled in one. I am now in a year long relationship and life has been treating me well. It is not a perfect relationship, we do have our shares of ups and downs but we come out of each as a better individual and we grow and learn together through those past mistakes. I just... } – Feb 05, 3:53 PM

Tanya { Dear Joyce, I don't have a husband who physically abuses me but i have one who does so verbally and emotionally. He doesn't care whether we be in public places like malls, offices etc he just feels he needs to, in his own terms, "vent out his spleen". He had called me many things and often times says that i am stupid. He said i needed to reform, and that the only way was "his way". for the past year i have been doing all he asks of me, i am not allowed to talk to my friends, neither am... } – Jan 24, 9:16 AM
