Sometimes we give more than we should . . . You came to me from the moon And I, the sun welcomed you You gave me smiles every day I gave you tears to last forever ©December 2, 2013 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ All that we send into the lives of others comes back into our own. ~*~ |

Thank you Rex, I suppose this isn't the kind of poem many will like, it is much too dark, but truth is the truth. I appreciate your input. ~*~ All that we send into the lives of others comes back into our own. ~*~ |

Thank you Nan. I just can't get it out of my mind, and she died before I found out where she was. ~*~ All that we send into the lives of others comes back into our own. ~*~ |

Jerry…You pack a poignant punch with these few words, just like you meant them too. Well done, though sad. |

The ache of this just lingers. It leaves one feeling helplessly sad. Lori |

I enjoy the darker side of things at times, myself.  The truth is poetic, even if it hurts. |

Thank you Kaoru, I let loose my dark side every so often. It is needed I think, for balance. ~*~ If they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |
