Dear World


Dear World,
You do not know every step I have taken to stand where I am today nor how many times I have fallen and had to force myself to get back up. You do not know my disabilities or of the struggles they create. You do not know all of my insecurities, nor the reasons that caused them. You do not know the people in my life who have died and the affects it had on me.  You do not know of trust that was broken or promises not kept.
You do not know the environment in which I was raised, the tears I have cried or the heartbreak of relationships that ended.  You do not know me; I do not trust you with all my heart.

Dear God,
You know every step I have taken to stand where I am today and how many times I have fallen and had to force myself to get back up. You know my disabilities and the struggles they create. You know all of my insecurities and the reasons that caused them. You know the people in my life who have died and the affects it had on me.  You know of the trust that was broken and each promises not kept.
You know the environment in which I was raised, the tears I have cried and the heartbreak of relationships that ended.  You know me I trust you with all my heart. Carlene Altom 11-19-12
