No Longer In Need

There was a man
that helped a woman
when she was
desperately in need.
He didn't know
which way the
wind would blow
or if his efforts
would fail or succeed.
He hated seeing her in
such a desperate position.
And he wanted her
blessings to proceed.
All seemed well for a spell
until things went so well
that she was no longer in need.
And to his surprise it was he
that she would no longer need.

Hello James

So many people don't know how much they have until it's gone.  This was so sad yet so well written.

"Loneliness and the feeling
of being unwanted
is the most terrible poverty."

Take care...Sue

I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

(sad sigh) It too saddens me to see so many give everything away like that when they could have easily had an advantage and let love heal away! (big hugggssssss) This is heartwrenching, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet James, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

James - sad write, but she will understand the wonderful man she had in time....and tossed him aside like her own morals. Enjoyed. Chris
