A Penny For Your Thoughts

May I kiss you in the dark? May I fondle your lovely heart If your mind would kiss my soul If you cared, I would hold you so I am discarded, this I see I am yesterdays shattered debris You smile and tossed me away like a penny I hoped inside, I could purchase your thoughts In the dark, I kiss my dreams My pockets bear, of material grief For I have nothing, nothing at all to offer If in my heart, I don’t have you

When someone rejects what you offer let it be.. Don't force yourself especially if you have exerted efforts to let that someone know your intentions.. Let it go no matter how painful it is.. For every ounce of letting go comes a brighter hope for something.. The prose it's a sad one but it's nice, olive eloisa here

Arthur; Don't be sad. We've been there and now we are back. We know that we can't please everyone - we have to please ourselves. Smile Jesus loves you... Lcy

Dear Arthur, Those who "toss" us away have to be put behind us so we can enjoy the rest of our lives. A hard-learned lesson that comes from reading your sad, but well-penned poem. Love and blessings for a happy Easter weekend, Carolyn
