I Found Some Teardrops |

I found a teardrop today thought to be safely tucked away From my heart, coming to the surface rolling down my face If only they would go away those hurts from long ago The ones that caused the heartaches and made the teardrops flow Funny how it happens when we think they are all gone Reappearing when least expected this time brought on by a song If only they would go away those hurts from long ago The ones that caused the heartaches and made the teardrops flow Sometimes the reason's quite simple that causes the teardrops to flow When they really get started are sometimes hard to control Whenever this happens there is not much a person can do but just let the teardrops flow and hope this time they are through If only they would go away those hurts from long ago The ones that caused the heartaches and made the teardrops flow But knowing they'll come again making an appearance grand As long as the hurt stays inside and making its strong stand Just when I think they're gone never to return again They stick up their ugly face with their hateful grin If only they would go away those hurts from long ago The ones that caused the heartaches and made the teardrops flow If only they would go away [This message has been edited by garysgirl (02-08-2003 12:13 AM).] |

IF ONLY........boy sometimes i feel as though my entire life is living on if only's. Fortunately we have the power within us to turn those If only's into reality. Our only problem is having the patience to ride out the storm. Great job on the write. |

Ethel, this is very touching. I know what you mean about those teardrops just popping up. I too wish they would go away for good. I hope you are okay.  |

Hi Toe  Good to see you....... Thanks for the poem.....and I loved your reply on other thread. Did you see my thing I wrote yesterday about the Vietnam Vets..."Let's Stand Behind Our Troops". I really couldn't get out the way I really feel about the whole situation. I just know that I'm proud to be an american Well, didn't mean to say all that. |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Ethel, I know this feeling ever too well too, sweet friend, I still have those tears in me too, of my almost committing suicide, the abuse and rape of some of my loved ones, and my depression of the past and even of my recent heartbreak with Joanna, and now the possible war coming in which I have been heavily campaigning the anti-war poetry movement against, which frankly isn't going so well! (sad sigh) This is heartfelt, sweet friend, I send many angel hugs your way, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Very well written, heart touching. Sometimes, when I become overwhelmed or, find myself crying a bit too much I know I have work to do. FOR ME, I didn't thoroughly grieve a particular person or sometimes, even an event which happened. I MAKE myself, in writing, go through all the processes of greiving and it helps eliminate those spontaneous tears. Though I'll always get teary-eyed, there is an emormous difference after having fully and properly grieved. It is a letting go which is so necessary to get on with life. FOR ME, that is...to each his own and I wish you success in putting these unresolved heartaches away for good. Hugs and love to you, Miss: I Love America! So, do I! smiles here... ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Julie, thank you. I'm glad that you liked the poem. . . Lisann, yeah, it does seem that way sometimes. If the storm would go away completely, though, the sunshine in my life now, could be as bright as it should be. I'm just very thankful that my Love is so patient with me... :. . sue, I'm glad that you like the poem, but sorry that your tears pop up. Maybe one day the tears will wash away all the hurt for us. I hope so. Yeah, I'm okay. I thank God that my Gary has been so patient with me about all my past hurts..... . . With heart hugs to you all from Ethel |

Noah, I'm sorry that you can relate to this so much. I wish that you had never suffered so much heartache. Sometimes the scars are a long time healing, but writing and the tears sometimes help, don't they? Thank you for understanding, friend. "Love makes the world go around" |

Goodmorning Pat, As always, I love your wisdom. Your replies (and poetry) always help me a lot. I do think you would be a very good counselor.....you have the wisdom, with love and compassion added in, that would make a very good one.... . . By the way, "Jesus Pat", I really like your spunk and the ability to say what needs to be said at times. You say lots of things that others are thinking, but just don't know the right words to say. And oh yes, I am definitely proud to be an AMERICAN from the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, just as I know you are, too. [This message has been edited by garysgirl (02-07-2003 11:06 AM).] |

If only it would go away, it'd take that dirty dog depression with it... and there might be a me left? *G* I like this very much, gg... and when I get on too bad a crying spree, I figure I'm just replenishing the oceans. *G* HUGS. |

So true, sweet Suthern lady. Depression is a "dirty dog", all right. And I think I've replenished some of the Gulf Of Mexico waters, too.... Thanks for your sweet reply... "Love makes the world go around" |

You wrote of this well, Ethel. I could feel your tears, and want for their end and the memories... I can recall days I used to spend crying, and not able to stop, but they were definitely needed, to a point. And I knew what the point was. What's bad, and what I just want to warn you not to do, is block the tears. Leads to more pain, and a deep need for them and inability to cry. this is getting long isn't it? Hugs to you Always, Alyssa - And so it was that time stood still - |

James, GG, Benjamin, Elizabeth, Muys, Paul, Michele, . . . Hello everybody I'm really sorry that I haven't responded to all of your replies. I didn't even notice them until the poem came back up on top. I wasn't feeling too well the day I wrote this poem. I really do thank all of you for your sweet replies and for the care and compassion that I could feel from each one of them. I'll tell you what, my family of friends here at PIP are certainly sweet people, and great friends to have. I love and appreciate all of you..... Hugs to ya'll Ethel [This message has been edited by garysgirl (02-12-2003 09:32 PM).] |

garysgirl -- I have never forgotten your reply to one of my poems. It was called "My Black House." I'm sure you've forgotten by now but I haven't. I've followed your poems ever since and I am truly moved by what you are revealing of yourself. You request a response if your poem touches my heart, oh, yes, it has touched my heart and so do you. I did respond to your comment about my poem but it was so late I'm sure you never saw it. Please keep writing about the hurts as well as the joys. The hurts need to be aired even more. I wish you the very best life has to offer. Love, Barb |
