~Soft tears cleanse slowly
yesterday's suffering heart.
Broken spirits weep~

She never let it show~
from the outside looking in
nobody could have known,
she didn't cry~
she didn't shout~
I was blind but I see now
she was breaking from the inside....
out. {as sung by Tracy Lawrence}

Donna, I'm starting to weep! Please tell me that this is just poetry and not for real! A spirit as sweet and gentle as yours, should never be made sad.

This is exceptionally well-written!

(big hugggssssss) I know these tears of yesterday ever so well, sweet friend, when I was a little boy I suffered everyday seemingly and today it feels they've returned! (sigh) This is heartfelt, sweet friend, I send angel hugs to you, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Donna, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Oh my, another sad write. *hugs* my friend. You can even make sadness sound lovely. Wish I had such talent.

The stars will shine when I am gone,
the earth will turn on as before,
the gulls, still race along the shore,
the morning star, still kiss the dawn

touching. its simplicity is its strength.

one small note.

i think you want yesterday's not yesterdays (as in posessive vs. plural)

You need an evening with Toerag and some strong "spirits" to wash away your blues gal....

I want to thank you all so very much for
the support I find here at Passions.

Toe, I have no doubt in my mind that
an evening with Toe and some much
stronger spirits than my own would
be just what is needed. Thank you
for that, it is so very appreciated

and yes Nancy, of course
it touched a smile upon my face.

Thank you all.

If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream...

I could come on over to your house, take off all my clothes, make mad passionate love to you....and if that didn't make you laugh out loud hysterically, nothing would!!!

Toe, I don't know if I would be laughing at
you  or not, but I am POSITIVE that you would be laughing at me.   Thanks for a smile.

Thanks Sue.  I appreciate the concern,
I will be fine.  Thank you.  Hugs.
