survival is a tangible element contained within a tear activated by the fall courage is the element born of salts sting upon the cheek of hope action is the longing for the courage to survive the sting of my tears left abrasive tracks in their wake upon the very cheek you used to touch my existence today defies the damage because I just knew there had to be more [This message has been edited by Susan Caldwell (09-15-2003 06:17 PM).] |

Excellent Susan. We are all capable of surviving whatever life throws our way. Chris "Hope" is the thing with feathers |

"action is the longing for the courage to survive" I've been thinking about something close to this for days. Thinking about action. I've decided to call it progress!  Enjoyed the read Susan. |

Chris~Thank you, and true we just have to have the tools...some need help finding the tools and there is nothing wrong with that. Duncan~Thank you kind sir! and progress it is!  Icy~Thank you! Don't be sad..this is about something that happened long ago and it helped make the person I am now...which isn't too bad a thing! Susan |

the sting of my tears left abrasive tracks in their wake upon the very cheek you used to touch darn this is so close to me... You write how I feel most of the time, Susan.  to put a smile back on your pretty face...your new pic looks sad...I know though, it is hard to smile into one of those cams and take your own pic.M |

This is my favorite work of yours (so far), Susan. I like the way you put together the first two stanzas into the third one. Witty and intelligently penned. Enjoyed! btw...I like your new pic, but still... |
