.
I watch in surprise as a tear is born in the bottom of your eye,
As you remember the dim past and many bad feelings gone by.
For these things have been etched into the depths of your brain,
But a lotion of God’s Love and tears will remove all of that pain.
For the past is only memories and cannot bring hurt any more,
So sweep them behind you as garbage and then close the door.
We are invincible as we journey together in this beautiful dream,
And those hurts of the past will be gone from now on it will seem.

KNOWING THAT HELP IS AT HAND (YOU ONLY NEED TO ASK) AND THAT OTHERS HAVE CLIMBED OUT OF THE DARKNESS INTO THE LIGHT (WITH SINCERE SUPPORT) WHERE GOD CAN SEE THEM IS A POWERFUL WEAPON IN THE FIGHT AGAINST THIS DEBILITATING DISEASE.

Very caring letter.I am sad to say there will times that she will cry. Maybe not as often. I have gone for years not cry then something will trigger the tear. It all part of the healing process. I like the letter of support and love that this poems gives to the reader. It leaves the reader cheering for that person. What a wonderful friend to write such a lovely poem of cheer

Just popped in to say hello. Have you been to my site page and viewed your poem A Message for Emma lately ??

I think that this was a very touching piece, and I liked the line of "God's lotion" what a beautiful way to put it.
-

That is so nice of you to reach out in friendship to her. Sometimes all it takes is that one person caring to make all the difference. I have found that to be true with my AP family. Take care, Sandy
-
Sandy, I have only met Emma through AP so it is a great way of extending the hand of Friendship, all I know is that she is a fellow Australian and needed help.
-
Thank you such a wonderful comment. I hope you enjoy some of my other work too.
-
I hope everything will improve in Emma's life. I can tell she was so touched by your poem. I think that's a start! Good luck in the contest.

This has a lilting flow of a motion like waves on water as memories dim through the passage of time. A very beautiful poem. --Ellis -
