"Take Cares..."

Thoughts on a Monday

 

"Take Cares..."

We try...we really do
but life - isn't always ...kind
and clean    and gentle, loving.

There are moments of

- god I wish so hard it wasn't

now...
and others that leave you

with glassy, unfocused eyes

and a 1,000 yard stare...

There are breaths that just don't come
and footsteps now unheard;
friends we leave behind

- and family too;

lives shattered by God's own tears,
and the shyest, gentlest fingertips

touching cheeks and whispering "...goodbye..."

"...take care..."

Tis beautiful sad. You are one of the few writers in the Cafe who can use a few special words and instantly touch the heart and mind.

Em, it was so nice of you to pause with me... I hope you return

Your poem is a BEAUTIFUL SADNESS.

'There are moments of ~ god I wish so hard it wasn't ~ now...'

Would pause more often if I could, being in a different time
zone is such a pest.

When I collect myself, I will return ...

In the last ten years, there have been many moments
I've wished it wasn't now ..
I've tried to escape .. but I still manage to breathe
Seems good-bye's , just keeps happening
And hearts continue to be broken , and die
And I wonder why
So many children never know they are truly loved ..

Thanks for the Gift, of You .. J.
