I'm Here!

Sometimes, when we're
At a difficult time in our lives
We don't reach out to help.

May be it's because we're proud.

May be we think we'd be bothering
someone with our troubles.

Perhaps we're embarassed.

Or we might think
That what's troubling us
Has never bothered anyone else before
And we're afraid to show
Our fears, our feelings.

"If any of these thoughts are true for you,
You can reach out to me.

I don't know what I can do to help
But I can listen
And understand
And love you no matter what.

I can remind you
What a special person you are,
How much you have to offer to me.

I'd like to put my arms
Around you and Hug you
And let you know how
Very much I really care.

I'm here for for you if you need me"

- Glenda Allen

A poem that probably describes me too!

I meant to do my work today-
But a brown bird sang in the apple tree,
And a butterfly flitted across the field,
And all the leaves were calling me.
And the wind went sighing over the land,
Tossing the grasses to and fro,
And a rainbow held out its shining hand-
So what could I do but laugh and go?

Richard Le Gallienne

A Little Wish

A little this
A little that
That is all I wish

A little smile
A little kiss
That makes me trip

A little touch
A little Love
That makes me glow

A little gift
A little glance
That makes me warm

A little waiting
A little outing
That makes me sing

A little pat
A little care
That makes me bloom

A little step,
With your step
That makes me dance

A little this
A little that
That is all I wish

Collection of some short ones!!!

When things go wrong
As they sometimes will
When the roads you are
Treading seem all uphill
When the funds are low
And the debts are high
And you want to smile
But you have to sigh
When life is pressing
You down a bit
Rest, if you must
But don't you QUIT!!!

Whenever you are in distress
Say to yourself
"I HAVE MYSELF"!!

Teach me to feel another's woe
To Hide the fault I see
That mercy I to others show
The way I want for me!

Nothing begins and nothing ends
That is not paid with a moan
For we are born in another's pain
And perish in our own!!

Do not wait!!

If you have a tender message
Or a loving word to say,
Do not wait till you forget it,
But whisper it today!
The tender word unspoken,
The letter never sent,
The long forgotten messages,
The wealth of love unspent -
For these some hearts are breaking,
For these some loved ones wait
So show them that you care for them
Before it is too late!!!!
