For a very special person, who is carrying an agony that no one should have to bear, and with less loving support than anyone should have. Even Your Tears Let my thoughts rest lightly on your shoulder, as if my hand were there. Let me shadow you all through this night of your despair, pick up for you whatever falls, even your tears. These things I’ll hold for you, keep safe until you need them once again. Some day when hurt is past , when you can carry such a load I’ll give them back. Until then they’re safe with me, and I will lift whatever falls, even your tears. ~~J |

Thank you so much, James, for supporting this person in time of need. It's most generous of you to hold her tears. This is the most beautiful poem ever... Sadie [This message has been edited by Sadelite (06-07-2004 03:15 PM).] |

Your pen never fails to produce beauty... but this compassionate gem that defines caring is one of your best! Friendship doesn't get more loving than this! |

James, It was good to see this again. It's apparent that people appreciate the compassionate and gentle you. I know I do. This one goes to my library on the closest shelf. May I borrow it? Sadelite |
