                  “RAINY THOUGHTS”
                              by
                          Bill Charles
                             ~~~~
Rain I always thought, fell from the skies,
        not from someone loving,
                or from my eyes...
Love to share, or share to love, but it seems,
        thoughts and words,
                killed my dreams...

And when they were gone, never to come back,
        hell could freeze over,
                but I'll always lack…
The warmth of my being, for it died over time,
        just like pouring out a bottle,
                of very good wine…

Don't think that words alone, can't do it,
        for you're sadly mistaken,
                you will take a hit...
A warm heart over time, will change to ice,
        and it won't matter if seven,
                or eleven, comes up on the dice…
                         ~~~~

Words are very powerful
They can be the food to our souls
and they can crush our souls too

Good write

           Thank You

A strong message, Bill.  The key is to learn to live a life with no regrets...  there are no mistakes if we learn from them...

I don't know whether to call for Little Orphan Annie or Annie Oakley, but I guess the former as I'd rather hope:

"The Sun'll come out, tomorrow!"

I hope your 'rainey thoughts' end up watering your garden to beautiful blossoms!

Your poem is extremely powerful!

(sigh) So sad but beautiful, sweet friend, words do mean so much and can affect us in many ways! (big hugggssssss) I pray that the words you will always hear from now on will be ones of rapture and love to forever bring a smile to your loving heart! We all love you so much, sweet friend, God Bless You! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Bill, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
