'are you ok' a lie...'yes' and I smile in reassurance denying the pain in my soul but look closer do you see my eyes the truth is written there- the loneliness I feel... the acceptance I long for... but how could you know you didn't see my eyes- I wish you had -vlraynes "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truely met the poet. -vlraynes [This message has been edited by vlraynes (edited 08-20-2000).] |

How few really look at us, and try to get to know the real person. This poem is so sad and so lovely. ellie Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. eL |

Oh how I wish the world would learn to look at the windows to a person's soul. So many see my wheelchair and forget about the person in the wheelchair. Thanks for sharing. Dawn |

So sorry that some people don't bother to see who you really are. I see a very special person with a great deal of talent and heart. Thanks so much for your response. Sheri- Yes...very rare indeed.
