Kimo Therapy

I see you filled with emotional pain
You feel like you are alone
So I will hold your hand

It’s okay, you do not need to explain
I will be here through the hurt
Let me absorb your tears

When you are ready tell me how you feel
My promise is to listen
You are safe here with me.


For Carol Connell’s Kimo Therapy Contest
Written August 5th 2018

Congrats on hosting your first contest Carol. Also thanks for the example.

Susan Gentry Date: 8/15/2018 10:38:00 PM Congratulations on your win. Words of compassion needed to be said and needed to be heard by most everyone at different times in our lives.

Vladislav Raven Date: 8/10/2018 8:59:00 AM An excellent write as always Richard. I enjoyed the read, it made me think. It is strange that when i feel alone and friendless someone always seems to be there. Your words always have a meaning. This little gem makes the loneliness fly. This gem goes into my faves. Keep singing your golden songs Richard. Have a wonderful Friday. Your friend always....Mike. Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 8/11/2018 7:40:00 AM What a nice thing to say Mike. I am pleased it resonates.

Pray for travelling mercies as I'm still not 100 percent. Hope to read something new from you soon. Hugs Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 8/9/2018 7:31:00 AM Travel safe and have fun.

Viv Wigley Date: 8/8/2018 12:38:00 AM If I remember correctly, Richard, a major tenet of the book 'how to win friends and influence people' was above all to be a good listener. Lord knows why we need a book to tell us that.... Fine write, good luck in the contest. Regards, Viv Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 8/9/2018 7:30:00 AM True that.

Honestly J.T. Date: 8/7/2018 4:27:00 PM Nice job -JT Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 8/9/2018 7:30:00 AM Thanks JT.

Arthur Vaso Date: 8/7/2018 12:15:00 AM Very touching Richard, such kindness melts me. Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 8/7/2018 8:18:00 AM Just like the wicked witch in wizard of Oz. Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Thanks for the visit you old softy!

Eileen Manassian Date: 8/6/2018 8:18:00 AM The greatest gift is safety. Too often we can't reveal our true selves for fear of judgement or rejection. Lovely write... Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 8/6/2018 8:22:00 AM So true, we are afraid that if others see us how we see ourselves that they would cease to love us. That would be unbearable so we bear our pain in silence.

Becca Teagan Date: 8/6/2018 12:54:00 AM If only friends like this were more than fantasy. Login to Reply Arthur Vaso Date: 8/7/2018 12:19:00 AM Sometimes we much choose our friends wisely, for many have such compassion, as I have met Richard, I can say he is a man filled with such warmth of heart, I wish all to have a friend such as him! Richard Lamoureux Date: 8/6/2018 7:46:00 AM I wish for you the friend but not the heartache. But if the heartache comes I hope his fantasy will be your reality. Thanks for the visit Becca.
