The Keeper of the Castle By Renshi Anne Radke October 1999

Oh, Keeper of the Castle... ..Let Down Your Gates Others will not overtake you nor will they destroy you, for the castle's foundation is built with the strongholds of love. Trust and faith are more powerful than fear and doubt. It is a matter of choice to choose life and truth rather than loneliness and solitude. New life blossoms in the courtyard, thanks to the love and faith of a friend. It isn't about fear, rejection and self worth anymore it is about trust and courage. The courage to let go of the past and grasp tomorrow and never let the battles you once fought that kept you from the happiness you now feels. To trust someone other than yourself and believe that truth, love and faith indeed will set you free..
