People are healers

Of our sad souls when lonely

And stand by when we are glad

Life without people

A vast empty desert is

Be thou a friend to the end

Dear Pangie, I agree with you hatred and racism in any form is intolerable. I think each news net work is putting their own slant on things and it is certainly not a black and white issue. When doctors with out borders and other humanitarian groups, even families of the hostages say it's Netanyahu's genocide. It's genocide. It doesn't justify attacks of jewish college students in any way..

Dear Nancy, first off, appreciative of your time to read me.. I actually was thinking of personal relationships more than worldly ones which I write about anyway. But this one when you have good friends makes life really wonderful… I was referring to one on one relationship. Even with these people can be vicious and we don’t need that.. or should I say I don’t need it and I don’t want to. I don’t think you do either.. when people run around trying to destroy your poetry or you. They are as as killers. Or robber will shoot you for no reasonL Friends are for you every day. They don’t expect you move up to their expectations. They like you or who you are that’s what I was trying to say.. there is a healing, piwer in a friend,. I wish we both have friends that stand behind us and we stand for them. Hugs, Pangie Romios

Without people -- 'a vast empty desert,' indeed.... Barbara Streisand sang 'People' in 'Funny Girl:' "People who need people are the luckiest people in the world.' :) gw

Victor, i do read you! I have not been feeling well, so I apologize , i do have soup mail, for you and anyopen to remind me, if I forget. I have been intentenselyn interested in the hatred of Israel, and the despicable behavior od students on American campuses.. jews and Christian safety overides my interest in poetry. Our President is quick to attack Republucans with wicked names,..but he loves Hamas, the slayer of Jews? I read no poet everyday. Each of us works differebtly. I do lotsof emails in addition,, I mean LONG emais, thanks for bringing this to my attention. PR

Your poetic words beautifully portray the significance of human connection to cherish and nurture friendships as they are the oasis in life's desert. Amen! - Blessings, Daniel

Aren't you sweet my friend. You bring warmth and laughter to me each day and I appreciate your friendship. I agree that people are healers. As Richard Bach said: "“Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years.”
