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

No-one knows how you regret all you've lost,
And all that will now 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 our Friendship and loving surround you.
Enveloped in warmth from people who care,
Soothing and flowing around you.

Gifts are easy to give, but hard to accept,
Bitterness comes from rejection,
Accept this friendship, as it has been given,
Not with pity, but with loving admiration.



 "Love is the only drug you can take that will convince you each time
that you've never had it before."

for me this poem reinforces the importance of taking stock of the real things such as real friends instead of falling out wit hthem over crap like money

Thanks Corazon…and yes it's true great friends are one of life's finest gifts

Thanks netswan   it was written about a friend who has MS. Sometimes it's hard to be a friend when people push you away.

Rene I think you are right. Friends are much more important than material things

YES..this is very well written..
i love the way it flows as you read it.
and the wisdom of its emotions are perfect.
very nice work here Tess.
take care, jm

 Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders
And it makes me want to touch you there.
And the light in your eyes makes me feel
Like there's something much better out there
Something kind...
And I know someday I might be looking around
Trying to find some purpose
Well purpose it can't be that hard to find
As long as I've got the wind...
The wind and your love to carry me.
