I just noticed that Simba posted a really pretty song in the fan lounge for Min73, and then I got a really good idea.

I think it would be absolutely wonderful if all the fellow artists on this forum got together and posted inspirational stuff for Min73. Is anybody here down for it?

So go ahead and post all of your works below and maybe Min can come on and view it at a later date win she is feeling better.

That is a great idea.....

HERE ARE MY PAINTINGS MIN .... PERHAPS THE IMAGES WILL SERVE TO CHEER YOU OR INSPIRE YOU:

that's absolutely pretty Miss Mojo...

I'm still trying to find some of mine....

Come on forum peoples....get off your buns and start posting your stuff....

This is one my mommy wrote me a very long time ago....I hope you like it MIN:

YOU ARE SO SPECIAL

You are so special
In everything you do
These aren’t only a mother’s words
These words are really true

When I’m feeling lonely
I can see your eyes of blue
And a little face looks up at me
And I remember you

You give me strength and courage
You’ve been there from the start
Now I give this courage back to you
And this comes from my heart

So stand up and be counted
Because you deserve the best
Live your life the way you want
And to hell with all the rest

If I could live my life again
If I should start anew
There’s one thing that I wouldn’t change
And that sweetheart is you

**That's beautiful shelly**

QUOTE 4 MIN: “Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”

Here's a song I wrote in 2005 for LMP....I can only hope that Lisa can become your angel the way that she was mine....

Here yas go MIN:

UNKNOWN ANGEL

There are some things
That the hands can never touch
Some things are just too gold
I can't count the times I've tried
Yet failed in this life of mine
I guess I just like chasing rainbows

And then you came along
And put the notes back in my song
When I thought my life
Had lost its meaning
Yes it's true, I lost my way
I couldn't find the light of day
Until your melody
Became my beacon

Chorus:
Unknown angel
Could you be
A little piece of heaven
God sent down to me?
I've never met you
But you give me wings
I'm right here
In front of you
Just let your heart believe


There are some things
That the ears can never hear
Some things go unspoken
Take away my crown
And kick me when I'm down
Just know the soul that bends is never broken


So promise me you'll stay
No matter what some say
Even if inspiration
Becomes a whisper
The light inside of you
Shines inside me too
Sometimes souls still speak
Without words

Repeat Chorus

and here's one more and then I'm gonna stop hogging the thread...lol...

I don't know who the poet was who wrote this tho...It's on a plaque on my wall:

DON'T QUIT

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low, and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is q u e e r with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.

Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worse,
that you must not quit

Prayer Is
Poem by © Becca
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Prayer brings peace to the restless,
It changes things you know.
The more you pray, the more your faith,
Will grow and grow and grow.

Prayer is sweet communion,
With a friend who really cares.
No matter what the problem is,
No matter when or where.

Prayer is like food to the hungry,
It fills an empty soul.
And then when the prayers are answered,
Your faith in God will grow.

Prayer is the key to Heaven,
Where the angels sing each day.
And when the door is open,
God is listening while we pray.

Dear Min,

I’ve seen many a child’s photograph
But none like your children with an inner laugh
The joy and glow and appreciation for the little things
You gave them that, those beautiful deep rooted seeds
Because of this they will flourish and share
The true key to life …love and care


You have let us see them playing in the snow
Sitting in the grass or performing at a school show
No greater affection have I ever seen
Your husband like with his computers,
Pays great attention to the little detail of things
I remember when a new stereo for you child was the important thing


You took the time to explain my new computer to me
So Patient, sincere and helpfully
With others it was always some offering
No one ever has anything bad to say about you
Thank you, for just being so amazingly beautiful
May god be with you and fight Min, for if you go we will all be blue

WRITTEN BY LOVEFIRST/LINDA FOR MIN73

Hey Min, yep some Aerosmith lyrics for you... from me to you my friend lol heart you..
I’m back
I’m back in the saddle again
I’m back
I’m back in the saddle again

Ridin’ into town alone
By the light of the moon
I’m looking for ol sukie jones
She crazy horse saloon
Barkeep gimme a drink
That’s when she caught my eye
She turned to give me a wink
That make a grown man cry

(chorus)

Come easy, go easy
All right until the rising sun
I’m calling all the shots tonight
I’m like a loaded gun
Peelin’ off my boots and chaps
I’m saddle sore
Four bits gets you time in the racks
I scream for more
Fools’ gold out of their mines
The girls are soaking wet
Not tounge’s drier than mine
I’ll come when I get back

I’m back in the saddle again
I’m back
I’m back in the saddle again
I’m riding, I’m loading up my pistol
I’m riding, I really got a fistful
I’m riding, I’m shining up my saddle
I’m riding, this snake is gonna rattle

(chorus)

Ridin’ high
Ridin’ high
Ridin’ high already

and also this.... one of my fave poems ever... you are a PHENOMENAL WOMAN MIN!
Phenomenal Woman


Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

This is a great idea! And Miss MOJO, I would love to have a piece of your art, I think they are excellent! I love the one where a girl is sitting infront of a bottle and you have lightening and her hair is raised up. PM with how I might go about scoring that piece. I would hang it proudly on my wall!!

LIGHTHOUSE that is incredible! thank you!
