Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying ~*Marge Tindal*~ When shadows of the night surround and heartache comes again to call Softly into a satin pillow your tears begin to fall Dreams won't come Memories won't go The night holds the aches of long, long ago Too fresh to forget Too intense to recall They come without mercy invading your all Not hiding in the shadows of the night as they should Why can't they bring smiles as you hoped they would Pillow-cased through the night wrapped in an ache of their own Don't let the sun catch you crying Dry your tears before break of dawn New memories in the making on the day in shades of umber Dawning on new dreams propelling you through your slumber Don't let the sun catch you crying For the day should bring you glee When shadows of the new night come I trust you'll think of me |

You knew the title would draw me in and I wondered if it would be similar to the song...but instead, I've now got the melody to accompany new words... well done, m'friend...

Marge.... You're capturing all the 'sun' people with this one..... I thoroughly enjoyed this, but what caught my eye was the unique layout of the lines!! (Reminds me of an hourglass.) As always.....very nicely done... Your words become music to my soul...... |

"Too fresh to forget Too intense to recall They come without mercy invading your all" Powerfully written Marge! Why is it that heartache comes calling so often as you rest your head to sleep? I know this all too well ... beautifully penned! Best wishes, /Kit |

Karilea~ We've got the *sunshine* flowing today, huh ?  Sunny1~ How perceptive of you to 'see' the hourglass. And how like the sands of time - do our memories flow. *Just look at all the ~SUN SHINING~ on this page ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Enjoyed this, Marge....!! Who did that song, "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying?" God, I used to love that song... hehe... It's killing me trying to remember... but I'm singing it in my head and probably will for the rest of the day.... so .... THANKS! |

Margie-girl you've penned a melody of sunshine with this gem...... very cool presentation as well... you seem to have a never ending source of inspiration... you crank these beauties out so consistantly... you must have muse machine, a poetry tree  wonderful writing later-sunshine-gator jm There are places inside our souls - that have never been touched. There are places inside our hearts - that need to be loved this much. ~jm~ |

your poem reminds me of the nights i spend thinking of the past things i've done, regretting my losses and wishing i could have changed certain things. but, like you said in your poem, "Don't let the sun catch you crying For the day should bring you glee." thanks for the inspirational thoughts. they bring a new "light" into my mind. dr.sugar dr.sugar |

Marge~ You pen speaks volumes to my heart my friend. This was simply amazing. Each and every line is just perfect!!! There is a light at the end of the tunnel. I know it in my heart.

Wow that's a great poem, people just ignore mine, I guess it's because I'm just a kid (17) I wish I could get people to read mine like they do yours, anyways it's an awesome poem and you emailed my mom the re-written form of her poem that she wrote so it rhymed (Paula Finn) and again it's a great poem |
