Same words spoken always to me, Flowers he will bring sorry he will be, Tears nor pain he will not see I will stand tall with dignity, Body parts he may bruise and break My inner strength he can not take, Saying goodbye, I walk away Leaving behind sadness and gray, Eyes open, Brightness I see Now and forever I can be ME |

This is a strong, powerful poem. If it is from personal experience, and you ever need a friend, let me know. What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life. Walt Whitman |

Powerful words Shelby, a touching reminder of all thats wrong in the world. Especially on a day when we should all give thanks for what we have. Excellent poem, I hope to read more. Regards, Olias. |

Irish Rose, Thank you for your reply, this is not a personal experience. I am very fortunate in the fact that the man in my lfe is the most caring and gentle man i have ever meet. Thank you again and i hope you liked it. OLIAS, Thank you for your replay to such a sensative issue,of all the things in this world that are wrong this is one that no one seems to want talk about. I know this isnt anything i will have to worry about with my man. |

Go with grace and God, Shelby.... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

inot2B and Sunshine, Thank you for your reply. This poem does not reflect my personal life but does reflect the families i work with, some of them are not at this place in their lives yet but i can only hope that one day they will be able to see that love and relationships do not have to hurt, and gain strength from that. |
