This is the beginnings of a story. It's been pulled together over the past few months... and I promised Anna I'd post it. :) You have to read it (think it) from the perspective of a girl, perhaps 10 or 12 years old, with a thick accent, Russian or Baltic-like... I'm not sure of the exact country they're going from. I guess it could be any war-torn country, in the past 40-50 years or so. I'd considered setting it in Lebanon, but I got some inspiration about the musical side of the family and needed to use Nikolai... long story! 

 The unforseen truth, is sometimes forgotten 

Hi Guys,

I've seen sooooo many "You know it when"s and I want to make one! Now I have a family of five children so... I don't know how close I will be, It might be that it is only what i think. I know that there are family's on here with much bigger family's (like a faimly of Thirteen!)

Well I hope you can relate to at least some of theese...

Hope you like it:

You know you have a big family when:

four arrows
pointing to
the direction of grace
the way of truth

as a compass

black lines
spinning
the letters smeared
it fills with your tears

you are

becoming lost
becoming rash
losing purity
living your past

look to

Him who saves
with black around
the sky
He conquered your lies

glorious

from east to west
He covered
you and your mess
for you He suffered

undone

your failure

Chapter 2


“George is going out for food, would you like anything” my mother called up to me ( George was our butler).
“ No thanks.. Wait! Umm… could you ask him to get me a Ben and Jerry’s. I think it’s ice cream.?”.
“ Ben and Jerry’s?” my mother asked.
“ yeah one of my friends, said they liked it”.
“Ok what ever you want”.

                                                              Come Back to Me

Come back to me, sweet Jesus,

Come back to me.

My faint cry echoes from the deepest ends of the earth,

O! Come back and set me free!

To go to the light filled land of heaven,

Away from this sinful world,

I long to be with Thee!

It is better than being outwardly beautiful, or having golden hair curled.

I would feel just the slightest pain at being taken to your kingdom,

 Plastic cups
Little toes
Across the
Sand into the
Trees where
Is my
Crepe paper?

Please
Love
As
Sunshine
Till
I
Come

Plenty of
Little cats
Ate
Seven
Tiny treats
In the
Closet

Pleasant blouses
Lovers coves
Ate away
Stones
Tin plates
In the sea
Crash.

 I'm drifting away from most all my friends

One by one, we're starting to end

Is it me or is it them?

People I would always defend

Turn and tease, unknowing offend

Is it me, or is it them?

I'd like for each problem to mend

I'd like to to connect again

Is it me or is it them?

I'm drifting away from most all my friends
