I originally wrote this for Paula, but I now see there are so many of my sisters of the phoenix that need this affirmation of my unending support. My heart goes out to each one of you, and my soul flies to your sides.

When The Pain Begins


When the pain begins to ache and throb
And you want to speak but can only sob
When the world that had started to shine
Snatches away the dream one more time
When the road doesn’t take you home
That’s when I’ll give you my heart on loan

                                 When the tears are falling never to cease
                                 And you want the pressure to just release
                                 When all around you looks black and drear
                                  I’ll be there to help, to comfort and cheer
                                 When you think that you just can’t go on
                                 That’s when I’ll give you my hearts song

When the clouds above your head turn dark
And all around is icy cold and plain stark
When your eyes can’t see the beauty within
I’ll show you comforts door and help you in
When trouble seems to only say your name
That’s when I’ll give you my hearts fun game

                                When the sun has vanished and you’re sad
                                And you’d have hope but hopes turned bad
                                When the love you had has hidden her eyes
                                And there’s pain raining down from the skies
                                When you’re tired and your heart feels sore
                                That’s when I’ll give you my soul and more

When the touch of the world seems to sting
And the silence that surrounds almost rings
When you don’t look up at the birds’ flight
And somehow you’ve forgotten hopes sight
When you feel the weight of sorrow’s touch
That’s when I’ll give you my hearts clutch

                                I will listen when  you need to talk and cry
                                I’ll stand fast with you and not walk on by
                                I will hear you when you speak or yell out
                                I’ll be there if you want to scream or shout
                                When you need someone to break the wave
                                That’s when I’ll return the peace I’ve saved

Richard love, thank you kindly, it's a gift I can give her from here, when she needs it most. In fact looking around the forums today my Angel will be busy giving out loving comfort. Thank you love
Take care love

Doreen love, thank you so very muchly love, I have no talent at all. I do have some mentors that beat me to make me work a little harder. (It's really to save themselves from my bad poetry! Not as altruistic as it seems I know   ) I do thank you on their behalf, and I can see her now saying see.  
(Yes love na na na naaaa to you too)
Thank you take care
               Mushy
                  

Paula love, I know and I too love you, this is because of who you are love. My sister of choice always. Don't sink down my love, we need you with us. Our wings will support you, and we will protect you from harm.
Take care love
             We are with you.
Phoenix sisters will always fly to each others rescue and aid.
