I listened as she whispered her silent plea, "Dear Lord above, could you please help me?" I could hear the growing desperation in her voice, she felt so alone, like she had been left no choice. In her eyes I could see the torment and so much pain, her tears began to flow down, like the pouring of the rain. In her soul there was a struggle, residing deep within, once, just once, she wished that she could somehow win. She sat in total silence, as her eyes searched into mine, I offered words of comfort, to help ease her weary mind. After a brief pause she slowly began to speak, and with her next words, I could feel my heart grow weak. I couldn't stop my tears, yes I began to cry; as she said these words, "I hope that God let's me know love, just once before I die."

You reminded me that there is much I take for granted at times....thought provoking piece here, Gentle Spirit...funny, but you reminded me of something that happened to me. Y'see I met this dwarf at an outdoor show. (long story) and I was sitting with her, on a blanket, watching this very loving couple, just the way they touched, and looked at each other made me cry, because I thought "I'll NEVER have that..." (even longer story) but then a guy walked by, and said hello to me and winked, and I didn't think much of it, just said "hi"---but my little friend asked me, "How does it feel to have a guy flirt with you?" Needless to say, I was ashamed of my self pity after that. But anyway...thanks for the poem, it brought all that back...grin...for what it's worth. |

Thank you both so much. Yes, sometimes it seems we can take things for granted, so true it is. ~nodding and agreeing~- |

I think all to often we take things for granted, we take instead of give. If only we would extend a hand instead of snapping it off, we would all be a little less selfish. I do like this poem, it's got such a pure message, and it's written beautifully. Take care Marsha |
