Give A Little - Take A Lot is there truly a world without music and if so I pray I do not fall behind that wall of darkness that would veil me of it even now the thought brings me to the brink of tears from these eyes that were born for softer things and as of late I grow weary of these worries and wonder is this why I was gifted sight of things that others never see but the cruelty in that gift would be the taking away the notes that set them free |

***personal note from the author I know I shouldn’t post on my own poem but I must explain this…with everything that is going on with me health wise there is a possibility I could lose my hearing…the thought of living in a world of silence is more than I can deal with at the moment…I can not even begin to fathom the idea of never hearing the sound of my children’s voices nor another note as music is so much a part of my life…the fear of the unknown is almost unbearable right now…so please forgive me this indulgence to vent. helen |

I felt drawn to come in here again. I am so sorry to hear that you are risking so much. I feel with you and understand your worries. Let's hope that they are not justified. In the same time please consider that modern technology and surgery can reach absolutely stunning results. It is almost impossible to drift in total deafness. I wish you to trust and to recover perfect health. Love, Margherita |

Amazing writing. Sometimes, late at night, when all else is still and quiet, if you listen intensely, you will always here it. |

Hi, I've been reading a lot of your poems and I can't remember any there I didn't enjoy reading. Some are what I could say, close to perfection such is the beauty and the way the words and feelings are expressed. Now that you're going through a hard time, all I can say and hope is that everything will end up alright, and no matter what happen, you won't ever lose that gift you have..writting in such a beautiful way. Kisses for you |

What a beautiful, painful write... With profound hearing loss prevalent in my family, I understand this fear completely... I pray for you too, dear lady. |
