The Cure

Not everybody loves
Not everybody cares
But everybody drinks a brew
That everybody shares

Not everybody understands
Not every heart alerts
Not everybody notices
But everybody, hurts...

It's easy mending little ones
Their wounds are plain to see
A bump up on the noggin'
A scratch down on the knee

They just need a bit of sympathy
A touch of tenderness
A gentle hug to re-assure
And then the healing kiss....

It's harder when we're older
Wounds find a place to hide
Diagnosis becomes mystery
When all the pain's inside

But still the cure is kissing
It's the sum of healer's art
So either tell me where it hurts
Or show me where to start!

That love is all there is
Is all we know of love....
Emily Dickinson

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Ralph, this is powerful, sweet friend, yes, yes, it is hard to heal wounds when we are older and tormented when we are young, but love can always overshadow the scars and bring new hope to us all! (sigh) This is wonderful, sweet friend, my thoughts are with you, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ralph, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
