~*~ You need not apologize, I know you speak from pain. The light has gone, from your life, and your path is slick with rain. Brooding clouds follow you, wherever you do go. You smile not at those you see, and frown at we you know. We offer love and guidance, but you just pull away. You're lost in your misery, and while away your day. It breaks the hearts of those who care. We pray that time will heal. You've pushed away emotions, so you won't have to feel. Have faith dear soul, that this shall pass, the sun will shine again. The dark clouds will disappear, and so will all the rain. ~*~ |

Linda - yes, and the pain will pass, and so will the dark clouds of rain. Sometimes it seems like it will never end, but eventually it does. Nice heartfelt write... BC |

what a tender write, to offer comfort to a soul in pain I know of AT LEAST three people this poem could have been written for, and whoever receives it will be blessed. Beautifully written compassion. [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (06-10-2003 12:45 PM).] |

Mr. T. ~ That would be terrific if 9,000 meant I was "middle" age! Then I'd have another 9,000 years left to live! EA |

Captain ~ Yes, we all need some down time--especially when we are grieving, but it is not good for us to stay in that place for very long. I appreciate you saying that you hope to see me sticking around! Huggums, el capitan! EA |

(big hugggsssssssss) God Bless You, dearest friend, yes, these times will pass and if you always have God by your side which everyone must do, all the clouds will disappear and disintegrate in an instant and make way for the light, where we will all be singing like a church on Christmas day! (sigh) Congratulations on 9,000 precious posts, sweet friend, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |

Mysteria ~ Time flies when you're having fun! Thank you, Dear Sharon, for your thoughtful reply to my milestone and my poem! Have a glorious day! Warm hugs, Linda P.S. This month, my parents, my sister, and my nephew all moved to British Columbia from here in Ontario. I am feeling an incredible emptiness. Fortunately I have my children and my dear friends gathering around me at this time. Change is a part of life--but it can be quite unsettling! |

Linda~ Congratulations to you! Your thoughts bring so much to mind, and are somewhat painful and beautiful all at once. It's true, we can't begin to love, unless we love ourselves. Keep on writing, it is always a pleasure to read you. Many hugs for you~ |
