Only Words

words sometimes seem inadequate when someone has deceased words sometimes seem inadequate when someone's world has fallen apart words sometimes seem inadequate when someone is struck with an incurable illness words sometimes seem inadequate when all hope seems to be lost words sometimes seem inadequate but....with words we convey our understanding showing that we care. 6/21/12

Well designed and expressed! Your repetitions are most effective... and your conclusion? philosophical! Well done, Phyl!! Best wishes, Keith :)

I find it hard to know what to say when life takes an awful turn.

this is really wonderful. Words indeed seem so inadequate in times like these, but i love what you said in the end. Very nicely said, dear.
