Remember when we met our love and we said "I'll love you always" or maybe "if this ends, we'll always be friends" You and I.... Our hearts locked up tight reliving those words wishing to put everything right but they can't be unsaid or unheard Why do we hurt ourselves and our friends when both is the last on our minds if turning the clock back could make amends pressing the pause key we'd opt for a rewind We'd put hearts in our pockets and pride on the table unplug all from its socket our mouths we'd disable But here I am with hindsight wishing to undo every wrong to go back in time for a rewrite and put us back where we belong Take care with your words every time cause there's always a price that you'll pay think of the good and not the crime or the cost could be friendship one day..... Apologies for the 2nd post of mine for today, seems I have too many thoughts running loose in my head... ------------------ You give but little when you give of your possessions.

HUSG back Iloveit... I guess being my usual philosophical self I know it takes two to love and two to argue but only one to apologise...and of course one person to accept with grace and then of course you both argue over the acceptance...lol! We humans are funny creatures..:-) HUSG ps: How's the tongue? ------------------ You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give. |

Oooops...Pepper, you snuck in whilst I was replying...:-) I wish someone could explain why it is that when we hurt, our brain disengages from our mouths and hearts...

Rainbow, You have read my recent thoughts and put them to words beautifully here. I always seem to hurt those closest to me, letting emotion get the best of my mouth. Thank you for a gentle and much needed reminder. ------------------ Michael Anderson Loneliness isn't in being alone; Loneliness is alone in being.

Michael: That's because we care so deeply that we are capable of hurting and feeling the hurt... A while back I made an agreement with someone, that everytime one of us said something that hurt, we'd apologise for being right..*g* and that way hurt feelings could be expressed and making up could then be honest and fun...but sometimes you lose your way...and when one can't experience the power of a hug or a voice that softly says "I'm sorry, forgive me?"...Words, emotions and an aching heart can sometimes be all that we are left with... HUGS ------------------ You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give. |

We should all carry around a bag full of marbles and stuff them in our mouths when we are about to say something that will hurt. We only cause pain when we lose our marbles. |

Very nicely done Rainbow...although it breaks my heart to see you hurting so. I couldn't agree more with Balladeers statement. Hugs  Ruth |

A good one, RG! Maybe instead of talking sometimes, we should sing what we want to say..I know I sing so poorly that if anyone were to listen, they'd cover their ears! No missteps would be heard! Hope the smile is back!  |

I'm off to dream but I'll leave you with my song..:-)) Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high There's a land that I heard of Once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow Skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true Some day I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where troubles melt like lemondrops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then, oh why can't I? Some day I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where troubles melt like lemondrops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then, oh why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly Beyond the rainbow Why, oh why can't I? ------------------ You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give. |

Very true RG ... and standing by your rule I apologise for quoting someone *s* .. HUSG When you meet your friend on the roadside or in the market place, let the spirit in you move your lips and direct your tongue. Let the voice within your voice speak to the ear of his ear; For his soul will keep the truth of your heart as the taste of the wine is remembered When the colour is forgotten and the vessel is no more.

RG, Life is not all good The only way to learn is to do. And we cannot always do right. Not to worry. rainbows are pretty whenever the sight. |

I agree wholeheartedly with the "marbles in the mouth" routine. Sounds like a great way to keep it shut when it needs to be. ------------------ What you hid from your parents as kids, you will hide from your kids as parents. ~Cletus T Judd~ |
