Don't come into the light, stay in the shadows. For if you come into the light, you'll find wrinkles struggling to the surface, waistlines expanding, hairlines receding, You'll find maturity. Don't come into the light, stay in the shadows. For if you come into the light, you'll find the warmth of the sun, the scent of a rose, the sould of children's laughter. You'll find life. Don't come into the light, stay in the shadows. For if you come into the light, you'll find a place to belong, fellowship, acceptance, companionship. You'll find love. Don't come into the light, stay in the shadows. For if you come into the light, you'll find people filled with hope, joy, faith. You'll find peace. Don't come into the light, stay in the shadows. For if you come into the light, you'll find you have to live, you have to feel, you have to trust. So, stay in the shadows, it's safer there.
Reason for writing:
A man whom entered into my children's and my life and stayed for almost 2 years and found that he couldn't accept my being overweight, it wasn't "Corporate America" enough for him and he exited quickly.
