~ By Sue ~ When I think back To when I was growing up It seemed to me Life was just too tough Being taught to be kind To each and everyone No matter what they do Kindness is the best one It did not seem the other kids Were ever taught the same as me They did not do the same They were always mean you see Still, when they were in need With forgiveness in my heart I was right there to help But, they always broke my heart To me it seemed There were very few Who were taught the same As I was taught to do I ask myself Where is that forgiveness today I must have lost it Somewhere a long the way 11-2-02 |

You are surrounded by it, in passionate blue. I'm sorry you've had so many mean spirited people in your life. Sometimes cyberland can be mean too, but you can pull the plug on the meanies anytime you want.  |

It is easy to become jaded when we feel we are the only ones on the giving side of the 'give-and-take equation' in our relationships with others---especially at those times when we are experiencing difficulties in our own lives---as you have been--, sweet Sue. At the present time you are in need of a great deal of healing---both emotionally and physically. As you begin to heal may your heart open up and may you embrace life once more. Healing takes time, but it will happen. Take good care of yourself and sending you extra warm hugs... Linda |

Sue, my dear sweet friend, you have a VERY kind and tender heart. It's just been hurt very badly right now, and you aren't real familiar with the feelings you are having. People like you and me, who are brought up this way, get hurt very deeply, because it's hard to realize that not everyone is kind and gentle in this world. One day I was feeling down because someone had treated me in an un-kind way, and my Mother said something to me that I've thought of a lot since. She said that it's the good, kind, loving, gentle people in this world that get hurt the most. Let's just be thankful that God has given us this kind of heart, and pray for the ones who don't have this kind. I do think that pouring your heart out the way you have in this poem is a good way of getting the healing you need. Thanks for sharing your heart with us, sweet Sue. ~With Love And Hugs~ Ethel |

Sue, I don't think you have lost kindness I think you generate it and then it returns like a thrown boomerang. Good poem Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
