Guys,

I was listening to a Whitney Houston Cd, and all of a sudden I realised the Lyrics of this song was something all us Alanons need to hear.....

"They can't take away my Dignity, because the greatest love of all is happening to me"..


I believe that children of our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be

Everybody's searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs
A lonely place to be
And so I learned to depend on me

I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I lived as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignitywink
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself biggrin
It is the greatest love of all

I believe that children of our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be

I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I lived as I believebiggrin
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

And if by chance, that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love evileye

I've heard this song loads of times over the years, and for the first time ever, I actually listened to the words... Have you????

Love

Yours In Recovery

Wow, that song brings me back in time!! Not positive but I think Dolly Parton wrote that song. I'll have to look that one up.
Thanks for sharing Ally, hope all is well.
Love, Christine
