Listening to every heart

0 posted 2003-10-31 08:18 PM





Engulfed in shadows, no light at the end,
            found time to send a sympathy card…

His children at her skirt, no dinner started,
            found time to give a hug…

Traffic is rushed, with bumper-to-bumper cars,
           found time to smile a thumbs up….

He stressed through the worst days of his life,
           found time to say “you did really well….”

She found a lump in her breast,
           found time to give a prayer….

Her mate of decades passed,
           found time to send flowers in memory

She’s just waiting to pass on, thinking she’s forgotten,
           found time to listen to the stories

He listens to the whispers in the shadows
           found time to whisper back

found time, precious and yielding,
enlightening pasts,
restoring common sense,
listening within,

finding…me.

I think it sometimes is that the time is
always there...we just don't decide to use
it as well as we should...  But,  hey...
guess what?  I found time to sit down and
say hey,  whatcha doin?  

Seriously,  I enjoyed this KJ,  reminds me
a little of my write yesterday about my
timepiece that I wish would slow down and
let me smell a whole bunch more roses than
I am presently...

Ah sweet lady...this touched me on a deeper level..
a personal level.
I'm going to tuck this into my library
to remind me...
just to remind me,
to take a deep breath..breathe and just 'find time'.
*soft smiles*
Love you lady.
Hugs~

~Time has cast a spell on you,
  So you won't ever forget me~
