...I received one gift for Christmas...ONE.
...It was a box filled with hope, filled with a promise of another clean unused day. ...I received memories of what I went through this past year and received the opportunity to say “thank you” that I am still alive to live another day. ...I received prayers packed in my box, prayers from friends of healing and encouragement to keep going and survive. ...I unpacked love from my friends; I don’t know how it all fit in there! ...I received ‘reminders’ to fill the box in the new coming year with goodness and gratefulness and beauty. ...I will never put my gift away; I will use it every day….. ...This is the best gift I have ever received and I hope yours were just as good!©Sheila Wolk

I bought a little book decades ago and wrote this on the first page and presented it to my Mother on her Birthday.
...I asked her to occasionally write some words of wisdom in it and later when filled to give it back to me on one of my birthdays...WHY? ...so when she is gone (passed away), I could open it and see her writing to me and speak to me, and I would feel her around me.....and so she did. ...It was not totally filled when she passed away, but the pages she did write in (just for me) has been lasting me my lifetime while I am alive. She even glued in a few of her favorite photo's inside I have thousands of books here in my Library and love them all...but this little book is my fave _____________________________________________________________________________ “LEAVE ME SOME WORDS” Enter my page and leave me some words So my world will be easier to bare Engrave beauty and love on a page or two Or a mystic Novella ~ if you dare I will caress and protect Your thoughts in my land For I know they were born From your heart, through your hand Your dreams and your journeys Whether lived or pretend Are immortalized on my page By your pen-©Sheila Wolk |
