Fictitious Rumors
By Larry Chadwick

Your reputation is what you give yourself,
It is not a gift from anyone you know.
But honest people will decide what it is,
As the truth of your life begins to show.

The world is full of those who misjudge others,
Based on the reflection in their mirror.
Rumors are started by characters like these,
But the facts don’t matter to them here.

For those who are tender of heart,
There is much pain to be felt.
But remember opinions only matter,
If you respect the one from whom they’re dealt.

January 18, 2004

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

this is a lesson to live by... and one that I certainly dictate every day of my life.

Thank you for putting it down so nicely

(big angel hugs) God Bless You, dearest Larry, I have missed you sooooooo much and I hope all is alright with you as I still think of you quite a lot and despite all you've been through this past year your heart shines as always with love! (sigh) Gossip is a demon and should be strictly limited in its usage as it can hurt too many, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Larry, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Khalil, Kristin Eve & iliana,Well I have been gone too long. How nice to meet each of you. I don't internet at home these days and find myself at work late on a weekend by myself. So it will be a while before I can search our your work. But you are each so kind. You belong in PiP's I can tell.

And NOAH!
How cool to be published together. How is school and everything else. I have indeed missed you. And thank you as always.

Julie,
You snuck up on me

And thank you. Hope all is well. I enjoyed seeing you published.

Hi Larry

It is so good to see you here. And, rumors are a
terrible thing, and can be very hurtful. This
is a good poem. I miss you, too.

Hugs,

so nice to see you here
unsure of what is going on
but things do hurt past the skin
and at times the surface of things
are NeVER how they are underneath

much love to you
