Though you may be ignored now, the Good Samaritan will come by and get you to that inn.

Very well put.. Short and to the point.  I like this a lot..   Even sent it as a card to a friend.  

With a little piece of tomorrow,
You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye.
Because today won't last forever,
And the past will only make you cry.

Vicky~
This thoughtful Tanka is very nicely done.
It's such a pleasure to watch talent grow.

this is great tricks..very well done    sad subject...my prob is......i never know when they really need help and when theyre just someone trying to scam people out of money...thats sad, i know..but its the thought that runs thru my head..my heart wants to help but my head makes me wonder..

pegasus111-
   yes...a subject very close to my heart
   as well.  i'd love to see Your Brother
   sometime.     Thanks for the response.
   Your kind words mean a lot.

spyro-
   you always know just what to say...thanks
   so much for the response.  you know i
   always appreciate hearing from my
   guardian dragon.  

broken winged angel-
   wow...thanks so much for the kind words.
   what a compliment that you actually sent
   it in a card.  Really glad you liked.  

Marge-
   my special friend...thank you so much for
   the kind words of encouragement.  your
   responses mean so much to me.  So glad
   you enjoyed this.  

marcy-
   thanks so much for your response. this
   is a subject that is very important to
   me...too many people don't take the
   'time to care'. thanks for listening...
   and caring.  

dg-
   wow...such an enthusiastic response.
   thank you.    i can certainly relate
   to where you're coming from with this...
   you never really know how much the help
   is needed or appreciated, but i figure
   that's not really important.  what's
   important is that i help whoever i can
   whenever i can and God will figure out
   the rest.  thinking of it that way just
   makes it a lot less complicated.  
   thanks for the response...glad you liked.
   btw...not first tanka.  remember jon's
   'poet junkie'...i responded in tanka.  

   LOVE ALL YOU GUYS!!!
