Those adolescent urges that so many of us have
for complete approval,
utter security, and perfect romance
-- urges quite appropriate to age seventeen --
prove to be an impossible way of life
at forty-seven or fifty-seven.

in all these areas because of my failure
to grow up, emotionally and spiritually.

Thought to Ponder....

What I am is God's gift to me.
What I make of myself is my gift to Him.
