No-one can know your emotions and thoughts,
No-one can feel your pain,
No-one sees the tears that fall in the night,
Silent and lonely like rain.

No-one knows how you regret all you've lost,
All that now will never be,
No-one can feel how it is to be trapped,
In a body that won't let you fly free.

But listen with your soul, as we talk with our hearts,
Let Friendship and loving surround you.
Enveloped in warmth from people who care,
Soothing and flowing all around you.

Gifts are easy to give, but can be hard to accept,
Bitterness is caused by rejection,
So accept this friendship as it is given,
Not with pity, but love and admiration.

"A clay pot sitting in the sun will always be a clay pot. It
has to go through the white heat of the furnace to become
porcelain."

A person would be a fool to not accept such a wonderful gift. . .

Excellent. . .

Good morning Tess,
I believe that this is the first time that I have stopped by your place for a read. I'm very glad that I did, your writing is excellent.
