The Greatest Thing You Did I always knew you would do great things in life you made money you made friends you made time you made love you molded the world in the shape of a laugh you grew power and let me eat it you danced the rain and let me drink it you curled my hair like smoke rings you curled my toes like a train wreck you rambled chaos and exhaled peace you fell asleep on my shoulder you dared to love me the little tornado I was and you stood hard like a statue great things being what they are the greatest is how you broke my heart. A poem begins with a lump in the throat. ~Robert Frost |

Oh my. That's a good one. I almost said you could only be hurt by people who mean a lot to you, but it's patently untrue, so I'll rephrase it-you can be hurt the most by those who mean the most. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

you molded the world in the shape of a laugh you grew power and let me eat it you danced the rain and let me drink it spectacular indeed, this...I believe is one of my favs of yours...sounds like a cowboy song, which should be put to music. |

Oldies are good... they show us how much we've grown. *S* This is superb, dear lady... and I applaud the way you didn't let the hurt keep you down. *S* |
