You didn’t seem to notice But I was always there Outside your door that was closed Of which you never opened Too consumed with your work Full of demands of others And none with my name on them Not that it mattered You didn’t think to say A word of kindness Or leave me with a smile To get me thru my day My heart can't live without a smile you know... Be kind at heart....for everyone you meet has their own battle to fight......... |

This one hurts, dear Roniece. It has a powerful impact. The world is so full of closed doors and closed hearts, causing much pain. You caught this situation well, I guess you have witnessed such a scene, but that it is not about you. Who would refuse a smile to you, who diffuses so much love and kindness? Hugs and smiles.

This just again gave me the "left out" person's view that I recently wrote about with 'Reunion Planning'. So often we just don't take the time to think how our actions -- or our inactions -- impact another. Thanks for a great write! -Venus |

Roniece my friend I understand every word of this and have been on the receiving end of this type situation. It's a terrible feeling. Sending heart hugs your way dear. |

Dear RDB, Nice poem. You should remember, that many people don't know about love. They can't give it, because they don't know what it is. Bobby |

Roniece that must be a very uncaring person not to give you a smile or a kind word, so I'll give you a very big PIP smile and a kind word to say I think you are one of the nicest lady's on PIP. Keep up your good work It's much enjoyed by all. God Bless. Lindsay |
