For One In Sadness







tears enough


there are 
tears enough 
for all the world,
but precious few
for one 
in sorrow -  

burdened, alone,
behind smiles 
for all else,

healing comes
from hearts 
of those 
willing to stand
against the
gale.

  1. hugs and it is a gale
    but I stand
    thank you...I hope I was included in this one
    ..but I don't stand alone I see

    1. You knew it! I knew you would, and we all keep you in our thoughts.

  2. For all they say about misery loving company, i know in my deepest, darkest moments i found myself alone in the middle of a sea of friends.
