Our Healing World

To touch 
to soothe -
to heal 
to respect 
to play 
to be there 
to be part of 
to be loved 
to feel wanted 
to feel emotion 
to feel fear 
to meet basic human need

To smile
to chat
to talk to
to talk with
to listen to 
to understand
to contribute
to give 
to embrace
to hear
to see
to want
to care for someone

To encourage
to chastise
to show 
to share
to forgive
to follow
to admire
to belong
to be there
to learn
to earn
to make mistake and start over

That was a great way to finish it, to go right back to the top and do it all again and again. Thanks for your comment on my bathroom poem. I do enjoy writing humorous from time to time. See ya later, Alligator! andrea

Anna-Marie, I enjoyed this poem very much. You covered so many actions that can lead us to happy places when mastered with love. Very excellent. Thanks for sharing. (And thanks for commenting on my poetry.)

You cover nearly every action, every emotion we experience in life so well, Anna-Marie! And I love the way you finish it as this is how we grow -- making mistakes and starting over. Quite a statement about how we live and learn, my dear friend. Awesome writing! And it's so great to see you posting again. Hope you are doing well as the weekend draws to a close. Much love, Carolyn
