(someone's hurting)
I can't forget
(someone's crying)
and I regret
knowing pain
of swollen eyes
too many tears
too many lies
(someone's pain)
in compromise...

Where is the gain?
What is the prize?
Why awaken
dog that lies?
Allow her sleep
this night in peace.
Allow her, please,
her dignity...
she has earned
the right to cry.

(someone's hurting)
No one's surprised.

serenity, I found this intriguing, sad and so full of care and concern.

Thanks to all...I appreciate your reading and kind comments as always...just thought it important to remember that sometimes our opinions are not as important as people's feelings...so that being said, this is all that I will say:  I care.  That's all.  End of discussion for me.  Love to ALL.

Careful! I don't care that you care about caring!   Hi, S'en. I loved the gentle touch of this poem. And I'm sure Butterfly Slippers appreciates it.

   What a beautiful and thoughtful poem!
   Wouldn't it be nice if we were so aware
   of another's pain?


Today is a gift....
That is why they call it
'the Present'!
