50 shades of gray, not quite the same, you say. :) Well in the light of days gone by after the questions of asking why. May peace be still your natural way. And tears of joy are all you cry. Peace. :)

Dearest Donna...I came to this poem late...I'm sorry, but my heart goes out to you! I'm SO SO sorry that you could not bear a child of your own...at such a tender age to go through that knowledge...BUT..you ARE a mother! I feel it...I've felt it in your email messages to me...YOU ARE! A mother is someone who nurtures and supports. My dear...Hugs HUGS HUGS from me.

Dear Donna, If only YOU knew how my Heart cries for YOU. With the joys of Tomorrow, clouded by sorrow with the pain of a LOVING Heart.We have to talk about the 1st line in the second verse (again). The tears of blood that my heart bleeds; is LOVE and Comfort that YOUR Heart Needs. I LOVE YOU Donna...Harry

Donna Jones Date: 3/24/2013 8:07:00 AM

You are sweet Harry....the pain is now buried very deeply somewhere only to escape on rare occasions...thank you....Donna

Thank you for sharing Donna, I can see you had the talent then as well to pen your feelings---getting them out is important!

Donna Jones Date: 3/23/2013 4:24:00 PM

Thanks Craig....writing things down has seemed easier than boring people by talking to them about them for me...most people like you to pretend you have no stones in your pockets...carefree as the wind...I appreciate every kind remark you make...Donna

I love that you posted a poem from your past! It is really emotional, and quite well written too. Thank you for sharing this, Donna :)

Donna Jones Date: 3/23/2013 12:10:00 PM

Thanks Anne. Your new pic is lovely by the way...yes the past. Our pain makes us stronger people and appreciate those things that make us happy.

Very expressive and emotive..That would be a very bad situation for an eighteen year old woman to face..Thanks for stopping by..Yes, those birds are very hungry..I noticed when it seems that there is going to be rain or a change in the weather that they seem to eat more like they are stuffin' because they may not get to come back for awhile..Thanks for stopping by..Sara

Donna Jones Date: 3/23/2013 8:45:00 AM

Well yes it 's hard still but we live with what life deals us....you keep enjoying the birds and I'll do likewise...thanks for stopping by....Donna

I could have sworn I read this one before or another like it. Did you do others? but my comment is not here. Well,it's a touching piece. Yes, as I thought I told you previously, I hope everything has worked out for you.

Donna Jones Date: 3/23/2013 8:43:00 AM

No...as it says..I wrote it 35 years ago and just now posting it.... but I can imagine any woman going through this could have written the similar words as the feelings would be the same...thanks for your kindest words.....Donna

My heart goes out to you. i know it's not the same thong but you have so many young hearts in your life that helps a bit.I lost my second son at his birth and it was gray clouds for many years. I still think of what he would be like today and would he be best friend with his brother? Warm Smiles, Connie

Donna Jones Date: 3/22/2013 12:36:00 PM

I'm sorry for your loss Connie...that must be much worse...thank you for stopping by today....Donna

Richard Lamoureux

I am touched as well, this is an emotional piece. I am sorry for your loss. Did you choose to adopt? You seem like a loving person so I am sure you found other ways to express this part of your being. I am glad you have chosen to be happy. It truly is a choice.

Richard Lamoureux Date: 3/22/2013 11:03:00 PM

Nice combination.

Donna Jones Date: 3/22/2013 12:40:00 PM

Well thank you Richard...the strangest thing..my mother..is half Cherokee dark brown eyes and my dad mostly Irish..marble blue eyes...all five of we siblings have these cat like yellow green eyes that change colors with our moods....

Richard Lamoureux Date: 3/22/2013 11:12:00 AM

You have very fortunate nieces and nephews to be lavished with such love. p.s. I like the new photo, it has a seductive quality.

Donna Jones Date: 3/22/2013 8:10:00 AM

Thanks Richard....no my first husband wouldn't hear of adopting....I left after 14 years...22 years later, now....I have 8 nieces and nephews I lavish all my love on as well as every lonely child I come across....

My dearest, you touched my soul with this, I so understand, sending my love today, I'm nesting my heart close to yours for a few moments, wherever you are, here's a hug, may your day be blessed, and may your heart find rest in the knowledge, that your loved so dearly, Your Rose M xxx

Donna Jones Date: 3/22/2013 8:14:00 AM

Thanks Rose...it is a hurt that will never leave but has become dull..I am writing this with tears dropping on my keyboard from your comment. Thank you. I guess we all have our reasons why we find each other here...always Donna
