Thanks so much, Anne... Isn't it a shame when people say things that are so hurtful that they actually tear someone's self esteem apart? ![]() Lyra |

![]() (tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Lyra, I agree with all my heart, I can't understand how evil can always attack such good, as my heart joins yours with sympathy for our dearest friends Sue and Donna! (big hugggsssssss) I send angels both their ways as I continue to send some to you during these difficult times, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lyra, thank you for sharing! ![]() May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Thank you so much for this, Lyra. I am trying so hard to hold on. And to stay strong. Sometimes, it is hard. You are such a dear friend. Thank you, Lyra for being there. |

Thanks so much, Keth... the wisdom comes unfortunately, from being old and having a lot of experience. My mother always used words very callously and without forethought. And now, she wonders why no one wants to visit her. ![]() Lyra |

Lyra, Whatever prompted these wonderful words of gentle wisdom must have touched you deeply. Only a person who cares about others would impart this observation unto them. Thank you. |

Thanks for the reply, Electra... This was written for 2 friends who post poetry here. Both have suffered some horrible verbal abuse... I also wrote it for my 20 yr old neice who was told repeatedly by her grandmother (my mother) that she was fat. My poor neice has been spending all summer at the gym... She was never fat, but my mother has these unrealistic views of how people should look. Both my sister and I have suffered from her verbal bombs also. ![]() Lyra |
