I felt my life with both my hands
To see if it was there --
I held my spirit to the Glass,
To prove it possibler --

I turned my Being round and round
And paused at every pound
To ask the Owner's name --
For doubt, that I should know the Sound --

I judged my features -- jarred my hair --
I pushed my dimples by, and waited --
If they -- twinkled back --
Conviction might, of me --

I told myself, "Take Courage, Friend --
That -- was a former time --
But we might learn to like the Heaven,
As well as our Old Home!"

Been a while since I posted. Not that it matters to anyone except me. I say that with a smile. I LOVE Emily Dickinson, and this one just hit me tonight and left me-------smiling. Who needs Juvaderm (sp?)-------let's all look toward something that really lasts----like an eternity!!!

Do the thing we fear
and death of fear is certain
