 Lick my wounds, hold on again My time will have to wait Howls of pain soon quieted Pushed behind the walls I've built Hidden behind this smile I wear The garment everyone prefers |

Angst! Knew this once, now I leave the masks for Halloween, it hurts way less. Well done! |

In just a few powerful words you speak a great truth! Smile on though, because our body reacts positively to our smiling face. There is a quote by Thich Nath Hanh that's about this. Can't remember it exactly, will go find it ... Very good job! Love, Margherita |

Here is the quote I mentioned, I love it: Thich Naht Hanh: “Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.” I tried this and I must say it is TRUE. Love, Margherita |

A smile can be artificial, but "happiness is the best gift we can give the world"...from the book "If It Hurts It Isn't Love" written by Chuck Spezzana, PhD...page254 |

Sadly true, Tina. Loved the poem, though. Hugs for you and kitty Rudy. - Owl, Tigger (my tabby cat) and Daisy (my blind Maltese poodle) |
