Charles Messina Poet Rhyme

Been Feeling Blue

I'd like to give...a quiet shout 
To all my friends...'been down and out 
Life gets better...there's no doubt 
I pray that you'll...get through 

I'd like to give...a voiceless say 
To all my friends...'been feeling gray 
Must try to start...a brand new day 
There's so much more...to do 

I'd like to ring...a cordless line 
Hope you've all...'been feeling fine 
To all our friends...yours and mine 
I've sent a prayer...for you 

I'd like to write...a simple poem 
By chance your ill...'been sick at home 
There's others...you are not alone 
There were others that...I knew 

I'd like to hum...to those with wings 
To those who've passed...'been given wings 
I've felt your pain...and it still stings 
I cried the day...you flew

Carolyn Devonshire January 23, 2020 at 4:52 PM In times of crisis, we turn to compassionate people for support. You're one of these people, Charlie. I smiled while reading your poem and was delighted with your verse about friends with "wings." They're still our friends and they are probably praying for us now. This poem is a fave for me. Been down lately and you brightened my spirits. Thank you, my friend! Hugs, Carolyn Charles Messina January 23, 2020 at 11:46 PM Wow, Carolyn. What a lovely comment. On one hand I am very thrilled that I was able to make you smile and cheer up, on the other hand I am feeling sorry that you have been feeling the blues of late. Anytime you feel this way you can always reach out to me and I'll try to brighten your day with smiles. I am sure all of our friends are looking down...Smiling. Love & Hugs, Charlie
