Just the Way Don’t know why, child, it’s just the way of things, we lose the ones we love. Even though we don’t want to, we must let go of guiding hands. Sometimes we wish not to be left behind, but for now, we are, it’s just God’s way. Think of it this way, each one leaves a gift, carry it always, and you’ll have the strength of dozens. © 2001 CMB |

That's true, we do LEAVE a gift as well as have them....love that thought, Corinne. "I walked beside the evening sea And dreamed a dream that could not be." George William Curtis |

I've forgotten how much I've missed the sincerity in your words Corinne  ~ Ruth www.angelfire.com/pa/OriginalMinds/index.html |

What sweet acceptance in this little gem of a poem! And, yes, there are always little bits of people left behind. I hope to read more from you. To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

really enjoyed this one corinne.. its often hard for us as adult to understand why we have to lose people we love to death...this explanation to a child is well-said... hugs, g "i know its kinda late i hope i didnt wake you but theres somethin i just gotta say-- i knew you'd understand..." jcroce |
