Burdens

Take not my
burdens upon you.
I got myself into
this mess and I'll
get myself out
of it too.
We all have our
share of burdens
to work through.
So don't even think
about taking any
of my burdens
upon you.

(sigh) Yes, when it comes to burdens it is up to ourselves to conquer them but the most our friends can do is to support with kindness and respect, and that alone is also special to have in these moments! (big hugggsssss) This is wonderful wisdom, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet James, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I tend to think that relieving someone is a relief in itself...for all concerned.

Our crosses are our own to bare~~
Nice write James~

Yes JM, I agree with you here...inevitably we remain responsible for our own burdens, although it is still nice to know that we have friends who would try to help us carry the burdens.  Great one!
