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, BARBARA BARRY-NISHANIAN Jan. 9,2018.

You are so right. God does not leave us. When there is a distance...guess who moved? Us, not God Thank you so much for visiting. Please return.

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!

Unexplained disharmony leaves a bubble of emptiness, and unanswered's WHY? May you always have a phone call at the right time! Happy you found it touching.bbn

Barbara: You might enjoy my 7/6/15 entry "Don't write it on their epitaph. Or my 2/12/17 entry "A Call From a Son". I'm not really trying to "advertise" my work but yours touched me and I'd like to reciprocate if I could. Thanks for sharing with all of us on the soup. oldbuck

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.

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
