A special message from spirit ...
I received the following email on September 11, 2007 from a complete stranger. It was one of those moments that blows you away and makes you stop and give gratitude that you are on your path. I believe it is no coincidence that Lura was awakened in the middle of the night on the auspicious date of 9/11. I believe that her friend's spirit was sending a very pertinant message to us all.
Also interesting to note that after I read Lura's email, I googled 'fill your children up', just to check it out, and my website didn't show up anywhere in the results. Coincidence or Divine intervention?
Hello,
I am forwarding you a poem I wrote last night. I had a friend from high school commit suicide last week. I had a strange epiphany and woke from a deep sleep with such a desire to write the below poem. Just to let you know I am not a typical writer and never use it to express myself, and in fact, at the age of 37, this is my first poem. The strange thing is that after I wrote this, I went back to sleep and when I woke back up it was like I hadn't written it and was reading it for the first time. The voice that kept coming inside of me kept saying " fill your children up", which made no sense to me until I wrote the poem. Now I understand at such an incredible level that I felt a need to share. I googled 'fill your children up' and your website came up, so I wanted to send to you. I hope you enjoy!!
Fill your children up!
By Lura Fleece
I asked the man at the morgue why did he take his life?
I thought he had a 5 year old and once a loving wife.
He seemed so full of everything we value as success
He had the resume to prove that he was destined for the best.
His smile was deeply covering the hole that was inside
I asked how could he have this wound he had a sense of pride.
He said It started as a pin prick the size so small unseen
It was covered by his smile,his face, it had become a screen
No one knew the hole was there it was covered very well
but as the doubt of love grew strong he lived his life in hell
He lived there each and every day and tried and tried and tried
To stop the leak of pain he had and fill the well inside.
I realized that this man so strong so beautiful to us
Had no idea of his worth his hole had grown too much
He stopped his pain he took his life he filled the hole he had
By taking his life he sealed the deal he seized from feeling sad
The lesson here is stated at the top for us to see
That little ones we get from god must be filled, here is the key…
These holes we try to fill too late can’t be done without the pain
When simple as it is each day to patch with love and gain
The respect they have not only for the ones that tell them no
But most importantly themselves so light may shine and glow
So everyday remember that the holes they still will come
But don’t be scared to patch them up as strongly as the sun
A hug, a smile, a look of love is all that they may need
To keep themselves filled up with love we start to plant the seed
Why not do it right at birth and start them off to show
That they have come straight from a place where love is all we know
If you see a leak inside a child that may not your own
You still can help patch the hole, and teach them how to grow
The energy of love and faith will keep them strong inside.
It spreads more quickly than you know right before your eyes
As I write these notes of happiness I suddenly feel the pain
And realize where I stand, the wisdom I hope to gain
The man then pulled the sheet back on and tucked him back inside
I hope he feels the love he needs and now with god will shine.
