    That my friend i will have to think about as far as my writing .
    but without a doubt ,It would a poem by HELLEN kELLER Do you know who she is? she was born deaf, mute, and blind
    and when you read of the beauty of every day life that a person that has never seen, has never spoken a word and has never heard a sound

    Well I promise you that you will never want to complain again
    I will post it for you in a day or two , and thanks once again my friend it is always so good to hear from you

    A poem by Hellen Keller
    Do you know who she is
    she was born deaf, mute and blind
    -------------------------------------
    I once knew the depth where no hope was !
    And darkness lay on the face of all things.

    Then love came and set my soul free . I once fretted and beat myself against the walls thast shut me in.

    My life was without a past, or a future.
    And death! ,,,A consumation , devoutly to be wished for!

    But a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hands that cluched at emptiness , and my heart leaped with the rapture of living !

    I DO NOT KNOW THE MEANING OF DARKNESS,
    BUT I HAVE LEARNED THE OVERCOMING OF IT!
    Hellen Keller
