I pray
I long to write
substantial verse that will
fill your abyss, dissolve your pain,
be solid driftwood for faltering minds
But fingers tremble, mind's a blur
Feelings keep stabbing cold
I lack the words
I pray

you are doing way more than just posting "little ditties" you are sharing a part of your heart and trying to ease a pain ... which is a gift that cannot be measured, I'm sure everyone is glad to know that we have support and understanding from other countries ... and though understanding cannot be measured I'm sure it is the greatest gift one could ask for

Thank you for thinking and feeling and supporting us all. It means more than you know as words cannot describe the depth of this all.

Sincerely,
Regina

Kaile~

You have found words to pen what I cannot right now~

'I pray
I long to write
substantial verse that will
fill your abyss, dissolve your pain,
be solid driftwood for faltering minds
But fingers tremble, mind's a blur
Feelings keep stabbing cold
I lack the words
I pray'


I thank you from the bottom of my heart
for the compassion of this excellent verse~
Love~ Peace~ and *Hugs*

I think we should all pray for PEACE among Mankind. This attack was a
senseless act against thousands of innocent people. I am saddened by this
incident and even more so, that I live in a world where violence and
destruction play a role daily

Just knowing of such support halfway around the world is reassuring, and prayer is the most that those not in command can do. Thank you.

God bless you.  Your prayer says all that needs to be said.

"cheesy ditties"?  ...not, my friend..

like margie..i cannot sift the words from my head and my heart to put them on paper..i wish i could--it would bring healing..

your ditties are not cheesy..they are heartfelt..doesnt matter if it took you 2 min to write, or 2 days..

the fact of the matter is..i cant even read the stuff from the americans..not right now..only read tricks, cause she told me it wasnt a "sad one"  

i thank you my friend overseas..for caring, and for sharing your ditty with us    i thank you for your prayers..

dont underestimate the power of your goodness..  

hugs, g
