The history of our lives
We have time to pray for our God
Before we go to bed
Before the house grows quiet
History of our lives
Every night we go to bed early
So we can get a proper sleep
And wake with enough for tomorrow
We are not rich
We have a limited amount of money to live
And that is okay
There is bread on the table
There is…Read More -

Holy spirit you are welcome
In my life
I am stand still
Like a rooted tree
Old like me
Please don’t chop me down
Don’t I have the right to live?
Why
I am very old
One you cut me down
There won’t be another tree
That will replace me -

Destroy is such a strong word! Maybe they can dismantle you, instead? 😉

Good vibes from this write, Fia. Stay whole!-

One more cup of coffee…. I understand the procrastinations. How is can be riding on a person’s back to delay things you want to do and accomplish.

There’s a relatable tug-of-war here between wanting to move forward and finding every comfortable excuse to stay exactly where you are, with the sun and clock quietly reminding the speaker that time isn’t waiting. The last “One more cup of coffee” is the perfect little surrender—it undercuts all that determination with the wonderfully human truth that sometimes the first step is just another damn cup of coffee.

Hi Fia, eroterite isn’t accessible: the site is showing as not working. Has it been permanently shutdown? If so can my stories be removed, please and could you close down my eroterite profile.
Many Thanks.
