We all are born and then we die Don't even know the reason why And that's the lot of all us human beings But there are times when God, at play, Will send some special thing our way... These things are what I call the "in-betweens". When we are positive for sure There is no more we can endure That Life's plan is to treat us cruel and mean There always seems to come some spark To help illuminate the dark And give our lives a needed "in-between". When those big problems seem to face us There is always some oasis Life will always place there in our path. Can be a lover or a friend Who we find as a perfect blend And makes us feel so happy we just laugh! Our troubles never stop, you know... One to another....on they go Our destiny is filled with traps unseen But, every time things get too hard God throws us down some small reward.. I thank him kindly for the in-betweens. |

Balladeer~ What a perfectly lovely thought~ 'But, every time things get too hard God throws us down some small reward.. I thank him kindly for the in-betweens.' I'm going to remember this~ Thank you for sharing a gem. *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

you have inspired me to write romance poetry... and here it is..... "you'll never be my in-between... you pull the ends of all it seems together with the meaningful persistance glanced from shine to dull there is not any in-between you are my all.... no sights unseen" well... it's just poetry.....*sigh... wink* loveyou, baby... this is an awesome write.... |

An In-Between? Interesting idea. Some nice lines here When those big problems seem to face us There is always some oasis . . . and Our troubles never stop you know... One to another...on they go A good poem is an In-Between. |

"When those big problems seem to face us There is always some oasis Life will always place there in our path. Can be a lover or a friend Who we find as a perfect blend And makes us feel so happy we just laugh!" I loved your thoughts in this Michael ... you have a wonderful spark of inspiration illuminated within these words. You echo thoughts I try to keep close as I'm waiting for my in-betweens to get me through the next round too ... great writing, and thanks for being "you" my friend.  Best wishes, /Kit |

Our troubles never stop, you know... One to another....on they go Our destiny is filled with traps unseen But, every time things get too hard God throws us down some small reward.. I thank him kindly for the in-betweens. My in-betweens are taking too long to get here...nice thoughts, though B  ~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II |

I deem it my duty to keep this on page one for awhile for everyone who needs an in-between. Thank you so much for this and for the wonderful poet and person you are! "Every man dies. Not every man truly lives." Braveheart Kathleen |

I thank him kindly for the in-betweens. Deer~ I'm thanking him for the in-betweens and you for the oasis of your poetry...this was just what I needed to see the sunrise today and leave the darkness in last night~ Swim in the weave...don't examine it~ |

Nice work, Balladeer...Not many people realize the little things in between life's bigger moments. Can I be your willful breeze, Come to touch, Your heart to ease? |
