When he is gone, people will say
“Why didn’t he ask us for help?” in dismay.
“We could have taken an interest in
his feelings, his sickness, instead of his sin.”
Why didn’t I tell you, why didn’t I say?
I told you for years but a comfortable life
was much more important than handling strife.
So we both turned our backs in utter dismay
thought it would be easy to walk our own ways.
Had I the resources you’ve always had
I’d have taken you in, I’d have never been mad
But it’s not about me, really, it never was.
Why am I gone?

- People, we need to help each other more, I need to do the same.
- We need to make more of an effort to locate the lost in our lives and tell them we love them.
- We are all so fucking busy. Busy, busy busy. What the hell is so important in your life that you have no room for your fellow man? Or your family, for that matter?
- Just food for thought – take it or leave it.
Marlies, I could not agree with you more. This is fucking fantastic, and I just love ya! So well done. You are so talented!

You are so right with this and I’m horribly guilty of letting reaching out to people slide. Thank you so much for the kick in the rear. Hugs! ❤️

Oh dear, I didn’t mean to kick you in the rear! (ok I have to stop it with the rhyming already lol) I’ve been dismayed at a number of people in my life and at the world in general and sometimes it just comes bubbling up and poof! There’s a poem. Or a rant. So, a great big hug to you as well Pearl, and thank you for your encouragement and support. It really is appreciated. (I would leave a heart icon here but I don’t know how to)
