This is just an apology
to those whom I don't reply
but I'm just to tired
and I really just can't try.
But I really do read your words
although it doesn't seem to be so,
but I just really wanted
you to all realize and know.
I DO read your words
right now I just can't reply
it just seems to take so much effort
between my tears to try.
So I hope you will all forgive me
for not giving you my time,
but damn, right now I'm lucky
that I could even get this to rhyme.
So please I hope you all
will just bare with me a day or two
until I can again reply
to each and every one of you.

You take whatever time you need to and don't worry. I believe I owe you a few dozen at least if not more. You don't have to reply for us to know you are there and of course if you find a need to post poems to purge those haunting feelings then we will be here to read and listen.

I understand
I could have written this myself
I also cannot respond, but only to a few
THank you. I'm sure there are others also who don't have time or, like me, are absorbed by life right now
Hope those tears go away

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a separate marker that told us how many times we had just been read? Would it matter by who? Nah...just a "click" tally would do!

As for Mark...LOL...he owes EVERYONE!

Nothing to apologize for, life is more important and live it! Be good to yourself and we are always here...

Hey, sometimes that happens...we do like the poem, but we just can't seem to find the right words to say how we liked it...at least, that's what happens to me...

...

it was love that first drew me,
it is love that will keep me here...
now I see love burning brightly
when everything else is unclear...

Sometimes, sleep can make a difference
To a sorrowful heartache.
Sometimes, you find the key
To mending the pain.
When the tears slow, streaming
And you begin dreaming,
May you find peace on your pillow tonight.
May everything seem brighter by daylight.

I believe that there is no real,absolute,50/50 split in this life-- not in work, relationships, or in anything else.I also believe that we strive to come as close to equal sharing as we can, but when we are unable, there are those who ARE able, who understand, and who ask no more than we can give---even if we can give nothing.

You do what you need to do to heal Gentle Spirit. The best gift you can give us is news that you are feeling better.

I too can not reply as much as I want to
allthough I think mine is another reason
don't feel sad now and don't feel ashamed
take your time there will be another season

a season when all things don't look as bad
as they're coming on to you right now dear
sometimes life sucks and sometimes it's fair
wait for this new season, we will wait here

Don't worry about us...of course we understand! You just concentrate on getting happy again

You took the first step by opening your heart and letting us in! Look at all the people who care about you....that's a beautiful thing!
