There has been so many times
I felt I was 6 feet from the edge
And I have thought of jumping
But somebody always pulls me back
Pulls me back to reality
And shows me life is still worth living

Cold hands means a warm heart

Life is worth living as long as I have you Julie.

What is life without poetry and adventure?
"Little sister" is just another way of saying "Guardian Angel"!

Double that distance from the edge, please, and then remember that you would hurt more than yourself, you would hurt all those who care about you.

Okay Julie,
The first rule is you need a harness and rope. Until you can be trusted you are just going to have to look like a mountain climber for a while! Now if it is necesarry to talk some sense into you then you know my email.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

"Hold me now, I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking, maybe six feet, ain't so far down."

Hi Julie, this so reminded me of one of my favorite songs by Creed.

Certainly not to make light of the poem at all. Just to show that being six feet from the edge is where a lot of us have been at one time or another. I'm so glad there were others there to pull you back. Great piece.

I said so softly
twas lost amid.
A whisper gone
thought now dim.

If your poem speaks the truth, read this:
Falling is frightening.
Once you fall you cannot stop untill you hit the ground.
And you don't know what it's like down there.
Before you jump,
ask yourself
If it is worth leaving what you have behind.

Youur poem is beautiful, and reminds me of a song i love. Sometimes the best thing to do is think about the future, not the present
Love your friend Liz

Julie, I couldn't quite figure out if this poem rang the truth of your feelings or if you were just writing. I certainly hope that you didn't mean this. I know that you have a lot of friends here that you can talk to.
Love To All,
Ethel....your friend
