(To my dear friend Tag)
A will to live
A fight to stay around
A desire to see another tomorrow
A joy to be alive
A refusal to give up
A cry for another chance
Living, breathing…
Not only existing
But lively living!
Dancing with life
Singing with God
Embracing love
Dealing with pain
Facing the unknown
Accepting what it is…
Rejoicing time
Bewitching chances
Conquering fears
Blessing the moments
Gripping each feeling
Surrendering to life
Living, breathing…
Not only existing
But lively living!

O Gabi, I'm in tears. That was so beautiful and heartening. You are wonderful my friend.
All my love to you and yours in distant Zambia.
Your courage is a great inspiration!
It put things under perspective, makes us stop and ponder what's really important and what's not.
Keep strong and lively living.

Bewitchment chances. Nice line!
Oh..this is something I should share with Mike. Such strength in it, and longing too. A powerful combination. You, with your love and light, reach far!
She Writes: welcome to the blog… Yes... that is the way I believe we should handle chances… bewitching and maneuvering them to our like.
W&W: I’m touched with your comment. The words were inspired by a beautiful soul, so now you can pass them on to another beautiful soul. From reading your blog I almost feel like I also know Mike.

Gabi - This is just beautiful and full of love. I love the family we have created here. The caring is so heart-felt and real, even though none of us have met each other.
Kass,
we are all in this openly sharing our heart, giving and receiving love... that is what brings us together!
I like what you said about us being family!

Surrendering and dancing to life...Uplifting poem.
Gabriela, the poem you left at my blog was so beautiful. Thank you.
Paul: The poem reflects the way I imagine my dear friend Tag living life. Not giving up but lively living each moment as if it was the very last.
