Drinking My Cup


tonight I went and paid my dues
and heard so much within accuse
talk is something people love to share
makes them feel as if they have been right there
but I have had enough of talk
being the lady I am I took a walk
I could have stayed and secrets of truths swapped
but lies don’t go away unless they are STOPPED
the truth is the truth no matter how you dirty it up
so I came home and poured myself a full cup

"I have already paid for all my future sins."  Sade...(King of Sorrow)

Helen, YES, a lady knows when to stop and take that walk. Amen and well, I agree!

(big hugggsssssss) Yes indeed, every woman deserves respect and always has the right when to talk or not to! (sigh) Your wisdom and heart shines in this wonderful poem, sweet friend! (kiss on cheek) We all love you, sweet friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Helen, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I have sipped Karma from the cup, and like you Helen, I willingly admit that I am responsible for the reactions to my actions.
Love to you Helen--I'll be reading.   Love to you--MY FRIEND.
