If you reach but no-one answers with a sweet hello or prayer If your feeble body’s yearning, but there’s simply no-one there If you cry with shear frustration at the time when you were free Take strength in what were blessings and what yet is still to be When sleeping do your dreams all come with voices from the past? Does music play a melody, that seems to ever last? Or do you wait there lonely but not knowing that you are? Just clinging to the love you had and moments set afar Does hurt come tease your body as the tablets dull the pain? Do walls all grow around you till a small world does remain? Do yearnings seek a vision from the place they went to hide? Do thoughts that used to dazzle, burn a longing deep inside? Or have you lived the life that all would wish to live and own While doing things of which you dreamt, with others and alone Finding peace and pondering in age and what’s to be Happy for each moment and in what there’s still to see |

I've been thinking something similar... and it's true I have been seeing the glass as half empty. I just wanna pour me into something that fits a little better now. Smiles to you. |

Hi Bridgette, lovely to see you here again, thank you for this wonderful comment, enjoyed the visit. Pat, thanks for your comment, wonderful to see all my friends here around me, it's great. passing shadows, hello dear friend, as I read it again, it could also be me, the thoughts came from seeing an old lady in hospital when I was visiting a friend, she looked so sad and lonely, it is amazing how images stay in you mind. Thanks for the great comment, always nice to have you visit. Richy, what can I say here but thank you, your comments are so much appreciated, thanks for the visit and the uplifting comments, they are all heart felt. To you all my friends, again thank you, the family grows stronger and closer because of you. Sincerely Rick Take care. |

Rick, This is sensational. Your presentation is wonderful, the rhyme excellent. The thoughts provoked broke my heart. As miracles are worked, what we cannot accept will fade, what we cannot handle will cease, what we will not need will end. Personal belief, the only soothing.
