And who’s to say What gives a face its stern looks The taste for blood . . . Or a cry in the night |

a good point we can guess, but may be quite wrong |

This hit home. As far back as I can remember people have had need to remind me to smile when I was working, or doing something. It seems I can not smile and think at the same time, and that sure annoys some people!..martyjo |

Bravo! *S* I realize we live in a world where "have a nice day" flows freely from lips without thought... but I'll never forget trying to get through a day of work worrying whether my dad's tests would show cancer or not... and having a total stranger tell me to "SMILE, it can't be that bad" as we passed on the street. |

Oh Yes, and all those years of working 4 to 12 and caring for Bud while he was having cancer treatments. Visiting him when in the hospital and rushing off to work, holding back the tears. I asked my supervisor to tell the others not to ask me, I would tell her and she could pass it on. If every one came to me with pity in their eyes and I had to talk about it, I knew I would break. My way worked and I only broke down twice, once late at night, and one day in Denny's trying to have a fast lunch. I had to have it packed to go. So agreed John, "nobody knows the trouble I've seen" is true and people should have a little empathy. Thanks for the thread, it helps to let it out even now. martyjo |

And who’s to say What gives a face its stern looks The taste for blood . . . Or a cry in the night'''' maybe both... In your light I learn how to love |

I love that word! The first time that I ever saw it was in a love letter written for me from a young man who was extolling my virtues as seen through his eyes.  When I got to "beautiful physiognomy" I thought that he was becoming a tad too personal! lol Then I looked the word up in the dictionary and had a good laugh! Regarding your provocative poem, I believe both would result in a less than smiling face. (It certainly would mine!) In actuality, there are many things that can wipe the smile from my "beautiful physiognomy" ~ lol There I go chuckling again! Love & Light, EA |
