I say it doesn’t matter to me… If they listen to the words I write, Find comfort in the thoughts, Remember that there is more to me… Than just a stanza or a verb I say it doesn’t matter to me… Yet when they don’t hear my heart, When they are far from my hope, And I can’t even find the words… There is hurt that quakes, a heart That breaks I say it doesn’t matter to me… If they don’t read what I’ve penned, Find inspiration in what I’ve said, Yet there is a place deep within me… Where my pages are wrinkled With the pain of knowing my words… Aren’t really heard

How sad, your word are always beautiful, but like me some are deprived of spare time, my excuse is that we have and have had a viable family business for the last 32 years and it is still in operation, so we can't neglect it, i have to divide my time and attention carefully between Proto Personnel and Poetry Soup. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Thanks for sharing this. By God's grace, I greet you with the peace and joy of Christmas and prosperous New Year along this present: "the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23 of the King James Bible). God bless you.

You have expressed a truth many of us here share, I too feel sad if my words aren't heard, but rest assured, your words are :)
