There are so many things
I can think to say
now
Now that circumstances
have brought you to
a rough stretch of path
The kind I've walked
too often myself
now
Now I want to
lay down beside you
take you in my arms
and weep with you
what you can not say
now
Now  that I understand
enough about life...
enough about you...
to feel the hurt
you are going through
now

this is beautiful, compassionate and tenderly written...so very heart-felt, Lori!

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

Yes, we do understand, but sometimes that just isn't enough. Compassion, yes of course, and advice, again, yes of course. In the end what has to be figured out will be figured out all by themselves, of course with all that tender advice given will usually play into it.

Faith, Steaven, Jerry, twistedpup &
martiniat8--

Wow your response to this poem is really touching and means a lot to me.

I wrote it about my Mom. I couldn't read it to her (too emotional for me)so I just laid down next to her on the bed for a while and we shared an unspoken space of love. I left a copy of the poem there and Dad and Mom read it later.
