Maybe better not to say a thing
but at least an effort is made
to bridge generational gap
imagine not even a sign of life
an extended hand is refused
a handshake costs too much
lack of sensation
forget about eye contact
turned heads
grandmother shunned
she only washed their dishes
fine example of family unity
these, the formative years
so as one grows older
resentment is nutured
reachs full potential
a hug will collapse without a return
maybe its better not to say a thing
coldness is misconstrued as shyness
how it hurts to pick this scab
this is in the immediate family
where oh where are people skills
maybe its better not to say a thing...

Martin, yes, it's a sad thing

I try to work on my people skills every day, as many people as I must deal with

Better to speak then hold it inside
where it'll eat you up.

Your words speak for many who are afraid
too.
Good one Martin.

:-)

Within this heart you'll find love

I am afraid that we just might be becoming a world of closed off, closed minded and closed fisted people. God help us.

Well done once again ecrivan! A keeper!!
hugs, Chris
