Barbara Barry-Nishanian Poet Rhyme

Saddened

SADDENED

Hardly anything sadder 
Than when you lose a best friend
And don’t know how it happened
Or what brought it to an end?

The long echoing silence
Sadly shared between the two
and one of them not knowing
If anything they could do?

Efforts are not invited
Nor want to be received
Leaving the one still trying
And by themselves alone grieve.

We all feel disconnected
Especially when loose dear friend
Hanging on end of our rope 
Praying God please …”our hearts mend”.

Really hate it when they leave 
Run away without reason
Bible principles choose ignore
‘Talking over’… should not shun.

Finally we must realize
If relationships dead and done
Only God can love resurrect
Be it from friend or son.
 
What holds us all together
Our brotherhood loyal true 
When falling apart, unglued
Someone’s there to help us through

God sees us lonesome ones
Knows how deeply feel alone
Then from someone else hear,
“I LOVE YOU”…over the phone,

Gayle Rodd February 22, 2018 at 10:49 AM Wow. The truth hurts and this one hit me directly today! I am dealing with a friendship that seemed to just waste away for no reason. I guess when it becomes a 'chore' to keep the friendship going ,it may not have even been one at all?? Good poem! Barbara Barry-Nishanian February 22, 2018 at 5:18 PM Gayle. unexplained disharmony leaves unanswered questions. Scriptures advise us to make contact and say sorry, even if not you're fault. After this only God can resurrect friendship being lost You made the effort to address situation.Then keep the door open.Need to talk P.S.email me. Thanks for visiting! bbn

Eileen Manassian February 4, 2018 at 11:51 PM Losing a loved one is one of the hardest experiences in life. Misunderstandings that ruin friendships bring untold grief. I'm glad your poem ended on a happy note. "I love you" brings healing. Thanks for your visit to my work. Barbara Barry-Nishanian February 6, 2018 at 2:42 PM I wrote this for a friend. Only God can resurrect love and friendship, after one's tried. Thanks for finding me too. bbn

Leanne Lovejoy-Burton January 28, 2018 at 3:52 AM hearing "I LOVE YOU", is so so very important. You are never truly alone, there is always someone / some greater power with you all the time and if family are split to the winds geographically, or estranged - well, there are like minded people never far away if one has the power to reach out and connect. Love to you Barbara, Leanne Barbara Barry-Nishanian July 16, 2019 at 11:30 PM Sorry didn't respond before now, just saw notice. thank you for reading, appreciate hearing from you. Muhammad Imtiaz February 23, 2018 at 4:36 AM nice explanation
