Hello dear friends! This was inspired by a visit to a "friends" house today. I have been trying unsucessfully to reach this poor girl ever since I met her, but she seems to fear me despite the fact that all I have done is offer advice, friendship and help with both her house and her newborn baby. Truth to tell I have almost given up...But I'm not that easy to dissuade when I know my cause is just and right. I only wish I could get through to her. Here's hopeing!! For-sake...fear For the sake of fear I cower behind these walls... Built in heart and mind For the sake of fear I CANNOT Believe in love that's blind For the sake of fear I tremble... No comfort in a touch For the sake of fear I listen not No one can help me much So FINE!!! My friend says Don't LISTEN!! Though I try to tell you true But if my words cannot reach you Perhaps by deeds I will get through But if perchance you hear me Try to heed my words... Forsake this fear that feeds you Forsake not a loving touch Forsake not friendship given For you will be forsakeing MUCH!! What I offer is given freely What I hope for is to help To free you of these fears you have And thereby find yourself... |

You have a heart of gold, but sometimes, people just don't want our help. They are not ready for it. They have to work through things their own way--for better or for worse. It is so difficult to watch this happen, but you have done what you can and when the time is right, she may reach out and accept your extended hand. Linda |

Tammy - fear can be overpowering in its own way. I hope your friend can get over this... BC |

Linda...I know what you mean. I have almost given up, but then she'll ask for help with something and I just can't turn down an outstretched hand (even though I sometimes feel I'm being used). Guess I'll just tough it out and hope for the best. Bill...Yes, fear can be overwhelming and I FEAR this girl has been through a lot of very bad things in her short 21years. There is a lot of anger and fear in her, but I'm still trying. If no one reaches out to these unfortunates, who will? I'm afraid I too am a "lost cause" in a sense. I ALWAYS try to help the underdog.... loner...Thanks. |

Trust is so hard for some. Maybe she'll come around. Let's hope so.  The stars will shine when I am gone, |

Tammy, you have such a compassionate heart for your friend. That is so touching. I'm sure that it's hard for you when she doesn't accept your advice even when she asks for it. All you can do is just keep being there for her and make sure that she knows you will be. It sounds to me like she has a hard time trusting, because of her hurtful past. Try to continue being patient with her. It sounds like she really needs you as her friend. Thanks for sharing. Love To All, Ethel/garysgirl |
