Be there when the lost is gone Be there when the song lives on Be there when the challenge spawns Be there in the golden Dawn Snow on the mountain wisdom's might The fire below each day delights Tomorrow's promise brings yesterday The helping hand is here to stay Be there when the pale horse rides Be there where the soul denies Be there as the never cries Be there when the darkness dies The breezes play the curtains whisper The wine of life's no empty snifter Look out on the sunlit street Do not go gentle into defeat true love never looks after it's own interests |

Life just goes on around as if nothing is happening. It has to though. I catch myself wishing for "different" instead of normal. Nothing has ever been normal for me anyway. Apologies if these comments ramble. Enjoyed! "I know this love will tear me to pieces |

Thanks, for the read, we are all affected one way or another. Definitely a challenge, and a challenge deeper than we have ever experienced before but determination is always a factor and a positive attitude wins battles especially sometimes even health battles. Thanks M true love never looks after it's own interests |

Beautiful...this rent spoke to me In love and war I have always retreated. Don't have time to play the game but your poem gave me inspiration. Willingness to fight for LOVE or walk away hoping the one you love is happy. |

A resounding call to remain positive, no matter one's age. Well done! "The business of the poet...is to show the sorriness underlying the grandest things and the grandeur underlying the sorriest things." Thomas Hardy |
