Would that I could Dry your tears With gentleness Of compassionate heart And ease the ache Of ages passed When tender youth Was tarnished By harsh disregard For its fragility Would that I could Atone for your pain And remove the burden That weighs upon your days In past remembrance Of wounds now scarred Healed, yet still telling Tears dried But still falling In cloak of invisibility Would that I could Offer you a hand Pulling you from the desert Of stark entity Into this fertile land Where love grows upon the fields In wave of amber glory And the sun settles to rest Over happily ever afters Souls safeguarded in friendship’s affection s.a.t. Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Susan, there is not a shred of doubt in my mind that you would if you were able to do all that you have stated. You have a kind and beautiful soul. May you always be blessed with that and friends that appreciate who you are to them... |
