Letting Go of Loneliness Oh, what a wonderful feeling Now in my very own home Always needed someone else Always felt so very alone. Gee, my very own bed Pretty curtains all around Flowers on the table Quiet, no not a sound. Peacefulness all about me Loneliness slipping right away Happiness again I’m feeling on this very day. No more feeling alone No more feeling stress As I start a new life Letting go of loneliness. Oh, how happy I am Oh, how much it means But, then I realize It’s just another of my dreams. Trying to move on is hard, although we want it so….. Susan Bartee 8/29/00 |

I know...I wrote "Someone who cares" for a friend in hope that it will encourage her to take the bold step to move on....James |

jmlee, thank you for responding. I have decided after reading the poem again, that I'm gonna just leave the last verse out. I like the happy ending so much better. Just another step to moving on. |

I think this is perfect just as it is as part of letting go is dreaming about it. When I was reading this I thought it was my life some time ago.......it felt grand....except never quiet with two boys! lol This is a good dream......one that is possible to come true. Stay strong. Jenn E |

Letting go of loneliness is one of the greatest accomplishments of my life. I love your poem. don't change a thing.  "Forget regret, or life is yours to miss. No other course, no other way... No day but today" ~Broadway Musical RENT~ *Cassandra Roseen* |
