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………

That is a sad recounting. It is good to be available to others.
I wonder what the people on the other end were doing – maybe they too needed help.
[…] Here is a piece I wrote a few years ago. It is sad, but think about someone who may feel like this on a regular basis, they feel no one really cares about giving some quality time to really listen to them. https://amarquette333.wordpress.com/2011/01/28/brief-moments-and-then/ […]
Powerful and sobering, Ann. Glad I followed your link to this writing.
