I dreamed of you long before I knew that you existed...

And once I met you, it took a long time for me to appreciate you

After all you were different, you had an old soul, and a melancholy spirit

It was evident to me that you had not been appreciated in your life span... thus far

People's words hadn't matched their actions, and the person you gave your heart tooo...

Well, she never gave hers in exchange

I wanted soo much for you to see yourself the way I saw you, to really comprehend your worth

But, its like taking a horse to the water ... you just can't make him drink

As time went on, I continued to enjoy you... your friendship, your spirit, your security...

With each day you.. were woven into the very fabric of my being

I started to miss you when you were away, and pine for you when you were near but not with me

My mind started to run on you, even when I didn't want it too...

Eventually our friendship became much more and grew into this blossom we now call love

You are more than I ever could have imagined, and much more than my dreams ever were.

Each day with you is better than the day before.. you surpass anything I could have expected and your more than I ever thought you could be....

And this time.. it's not just in my mind's eye,,,,,

With so much going on around here lately, I have just been blocked.  I have so much swirling around in my head with my 31st birthday just a day away that I have had a problem getting my thoughts in any sequence, or to make any sense.  I can't tell you all how many times over the last few days I have come to the compose portion of my VOX... started writing and then realized that what I was writing didn't make any sense.

So, heres my attempt to explain the madness that has been going on in my head.  This week, I have had to realize that my time table may not neccessarily be God's time table.  All the plans and hopes and dreams that I had for myself, may not have been exactly what he wanted for me, or in the time that he wanted it for me.  I have also had to admit to myself, that though I seem to dread the years as they keep rolling by.  The whole year of 30, I lived more than I lived all the 29 years before, I was loved more, I was cherished more, and I learned to love and cherish myself more.  With each year and each new experience good or bad I learned more about myself than I knew before.

So.. tommorow I am 31, and even though, I am not exactly where I want to be, I am exactly where I need to be.  I can say without a shadow of a doubt at 31, that I am a strong independent woman.  I am a mother that is striving to give her kids all the world has to offer.  I am a daughter we still wants to make her own mother proud.  I am a friend whose loyalty is unquestionable, and I am an individual, my worth is not defined by who I am with, it is defined by what I strive to be, the things that I have accomplished, the God I serve, and the things I have yet to accomplish.

For me, Sheree Walton, the sky truly is the limit to what I can have.

Hmmm, lol, guess I wasn't as blocked as I thought.

In closing, "Love makes little things grow", for those of you have kids you know thats the theme song from Clifford the Baby Days.  But, its relevance here is sort of like the saying " if you have faith the size of a mustard seed".  If you believe in yourself and love yourself, you really can be whatever you want to be.  Trust me, I am proof of that fact.

So here's to me - Sheree you've come a long way baby, and I love you!!

No one can ever quite explain to you..... how it feels to be in Vegas... How the lights can transform your jetlag into pure energy... How the sights can give you a high.. like any drug you could think of.. Or how in the wake of the morning.... love can look or feel so ... GREAT!!
