Ripping bandaids,
done sincerely,
only hurts
a little bit,
yet with lingered,
apprehension,
it will hold a
lasting sting.
Never laugh at
others tears,
or those same tears
will find you,
feeling joy in
seing sorrow,
retribution
is your view.
Be the person
you want to see
passing by you
so carefree,
As you dance with
drowning feet
your heart drums
a different beat.

Very poignant message, Grace! Thank you!
Joanna
Thanks so much, Joanna.💕
Wow Grace! I know you may think at times my cheese has slid of my cracker, lol but I’m not crazy just passionate. In reading this, especially the first two stanza’s, my thoughts are that it needs to shouting it with a bullhorn in a public highly populated place. Another homerun!!!
You are too sweet, Tammy. Thank you so much. I am cracking up at the cheese and cracker 🤣, thanks for that, my friend.💕
Lol, I tend to be a bit goofy when I’m excited about something.
I love it!💕❤️💕
Beautiful

This has such a smooth feel and positive ending (“Be the person you want to see / passing by you so carefree…” And the band-aid part is so true! Ouch! 😀 Well done, Grace! 🙂
