Tears
I wrote this in 2005. Yes it is sad, yet reminds me to be available to others.
A few moments of magic
A special letter
Exciting news
Something special happens
I am excited
A special joy fills me up
I want to share the moments
….in person
Call to a friend
Can we meet for coffee?
Something wonderful to share…
Sorry, can’t…
Call another friend
Can we meet…?
Something wonderful to share…
Sorry, can’t today…
See another friend
Want to share something wonderful…
They are busy with children
Or other people…
Sorry, can we talk later…………
My heart drops
Pain sets in
My spirit cries
I try not to feel sorry for myself
I can barely breathe
The moments disappear
No one to share with…
Then…
Just more moments…
Alone………

True! It happens a lot of times. People’s personal needs and priorities often make us feel unappreciated.
Our true worth and value can neither be ascertained through other people’s evaluation of us nor their attitudes towards us.
We have to learn to feel good about ourselves and to enjoy the moments we spend alone.
Someday, one way or the other, everybody will get to see me the way I see myself.
We would also be doing ourselves more good by listening to others and being there for them, whether they are able reciprocate or not.
It is a very emotional piece you have just shared and it reveals a whole lot of lessons!
It’s been a while, Ann. Experience the beauty, warmth, harmony and sweetness ahead!
Thanks teecee for stopping by and leaving your comment. I don’t think I meant this piece to presume my worth or value depends on others “evaluation or attitudes.” It was just sad to experience that there was no one to share a short period of time with me to celebrate something very special in my life.
I reached out to a great many people in my life. The very first person to reach out was someone I had never met in person. Then my brother (who is also my best friend) was the other person who truly cared so much to make a sacrifice in his own life to help me. That experience made me realize that there had probably been many times in the past when others who may have needed my help and I did not sacrifice for them; and needed to remember in the future how I felt when someone else needs help.
There was another time in my life when I was in a really bad way, and going against my own rebellious independence
I could add many more thoughts about this subject, but not at this time.
Excellent!
THANK YOU BUTCH!!! I appreciate your comment.
Ann, written in 2005 but appropriate every single day of our lives. It’s an excellent reminder to be present when we get that call from others. It’s lovely in a sad sort of way.
With gratitude … MargeKatherine
Thank you MargeKatherine for stopping by and you heartfelt response.
ah, sometimes I think I’ve been one of those people who have kept declining invitations. But what can I do? I have studies, work, and writing on my own, so the plate is pretty much full. Hmmm…

Subhan, sometimes it is important to read between the lines, or tone of voice, of an invitation to meetup for a coffee or just a chat. After my own experience, I try to remember to make time if someone wants to get together as they just might need someone to talk to…either about something troubling them, OR wanting to share something exciting in their life.
hehe, yeah, that is true. I believe I need to learn better on how to manage this.
We don’t realize how much we might be helping someone, even if it is only to bring a little light in their life…by spending a little time with them.
Thank you for the reminder. I will bear it in mind and will try my best. Many blessings and much love to you, Ann.
