I've scattered those memories a few here, a few there no more than a handful in the same place It gets crowded really fast, when the thoughts start adding up Said my goodbyes turned and walked away The memories well now, they followed suit must've been in my back pocket When I ran like hell To escape yesterday blind-sided by tomorrow My today's just all faded away I put him on a shelf to gather dust with the rest everything, that must I dare not phone I know what he'll say One day your gonna be sorry when I'm dead, and gone away How do you tell when you're out of invisible ink? |

Made me think of a comment I made to my older son, when he was really upset with his mother...I told him to try to forgive her and get along, because you only have one Mom....James |

this was thought provoking, we so take those close to us for granted, until they are no longer there, and then....those heavy weight issues, seem irrelevant and miniscule, compared to the loss of someone we loved so dearly... It gets crowded really fast, when the thoughts start adding up yes, it does, and thats when we have options, to decide which thoughts are small and which ones need to be addressed. Hugs to you and thank you |

It is usually best to put away people when they do not treat us as we should be treated...they no longer have a right. "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

Reading this, I think too much. I hope none of my thoughts are true (which is a pretty fair bet lately!)....either way though, this poem scintillates! Up it goes! ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
