This morning I am remembering
the good of the bad, your words
appearing and flashing back
what shadows my heart.

I am held by the words, their touch
replacing the feel of real, substituting
a warmth needed some days.

When the nobody cares mood
challenges my mind and
the passage of time makes me long
for the close of the day,
I reach deep within
to startle the "come what may"
and make there be my reason for living.

Not to be taken lightly, for I am
unbreakable, able to stretch my defeats
into promises of tomorrow's secrets,
I anchor my will at the bottom of my well,
never empty of emotion, never dry of tears
but filled with hope, and bitter-sweet memories
that have become Me.

And those shards of glass? Those pieces
to be tossed away? I have wrapped them tightly,
softening their edges so that no one else
will feel their piercings or the lingering
of their break.

Dear sweet Maureen, no matter how downhearted you may be feeling, you still think of the feelings of others.
Big hugs to you, sweet lady,

I just want to say thank you to those of you who have just put a little "up" into my day.
