Lead on!

My friend Ralph has a way with words. He's a great guy who has nothing but good to say to each person. In fact, he wrote out a blurb for everyone he knows...and is still going strong. He keeps adding to the list. Here's what he wrote about me:

Lina Bello
Relentless. Looks forward to the future and goes in the direction with fierce determination that is hard to dispirit. Always manages to negate her struggles with a well-timed self-depricating comment. Yet, nothing can lessen anyone's admiration of her strong resolve. Still proceeding to the distant light of tomorrow's dreams, she often takes you along for the ride. What a wonderful thing it is to have a vision and a purpse. She knows that everyday is new.

I always wonder what other people think of me. It always amazes me when I get a chance to take a peak of myself from their perspective. When you get a chance, why not leave me a message and tell me what you think of me. You're opinion is welcome --good or bad.

It's also friday the 13th. I wonder what freaky things would happen today? Who knows?!

In a tunnel I go
Towards nowhere it seems
The broken lines lead me somewhere
Somewhere to the depths within

I'm unsure of my destination
The darkened surroundings obscure
The light ahead so distant
A star in the pitch black night

I grab hold of anything
A guiding hand out of nowhere leads
Beyond the depths of the tunnel
The tunnel I travel within

I attack the road I travel by
Determined to find the right path
Tempted to sit it out 'til the day ends
To dilly in the chaotic silence

Yet the hand leads on
Tugging when necessary
Comforting when I'm defeated
Lifting when I'm down

Emotions flood as I forge on
Confused by all who lead me astray
In the dark I hold on to the familiar
Afraid to cling onto the monsters beyond
The horned beings with evil intents
With only desire to confuse me even more

I have zero interest in this path
But the weakend heart is easily tempted
Easily led astray
And so I cling onto the familiar once more
In hopes that the star would soon be reached
And out the tunnel I would go
Into the light I will rejoice
