A Poem for my fellow GA boarders....

Not sure who this was written by, but it was posted by Liz Sava from my December 2004 boards.... I just had to share... A Poem Walking past the mirror, I take a timid peek, I see a woman staring back, I'm too choked up to speak. The puffiness,at last, is gone, The skin is pink and glowing, The many pounds that melted off, Is finally showing. Hard to believe till recently This same woman was dying, Stuffing food to ease the pain, Heartbroken and crying. Life revolved around each snack, She lived for every meal. Anything to numb the hurt, She didn't want to feel. When did she get so pretty? When did god remove the grief? How did this miracle happen? Who provided relief? What a gift! A second chance! I thank god everyday, For his grace in showing me There is a better way. I walk I dance I make love too, My heart is filled with gladness I'm out of bondage,out of pain There is no room for sadness. This woman in the mirror Smiles softly back at me She has good cause to be pleased She's finally been set free.

that is beautiful Susan! Lorie
