You didn’t seem to notice
But I was always there
Outside your door that was closed
Of which you never opened

Too consumed with your work
Full of demands of others
And none with my name on them
Not that it mattered

You didn’t think to say
A word of kindness
Or leave me with a smile
To get me thru my day

My heart can't live without a smile you know...



Be kind at heart....for everyone you meet has their own battle to fight.........

This one hurts, dear Roniece. It has a powerful impact. The world is so full of closed doors and closed hearts, causing much pain. You caught this situation well, I guess you have witnessed such a scene, but that it is not about you. Who would refuse a smile to you, who diffuses so much love and kindness?

Hugs and smiles.

This just again gave me the "left out" person's view that I recently wrote about with 'Reunion Planning'.

So often we just don't take the time to think how our actions -- or our inactions -- impact another.

Thanks for a great write!

Roniece my friend I understand every word of this and have been on the receiving end of this type situation.  It's a terrible feeling.  Sending heart hugs your way dear.

Dear RDB,

Nice poem.  You should remember, that many people don't know about love.

They can't give it, because they don't know what it is.

Dear Roniece, this can be given to so many situations of life, a smile or a kind word goes so far, we all need a little love in our lives. Enjoyed the read my friend, be well and take care.

Roniece that must be a very uncaring person not to give you a smile or a kind word, so

I'll give you a very big PIP smile and a kind word to say I think you are one of the

nicest lady's on PIP. Keep up your good work
It's much enjoyed by all.  God Bless.
