Please tell me
That all of this pain
Is not in vain
Please tell me you are there
Because I need you to hear
Please allow me to unburden my heart
It is the only possible way to even start
To be real
And find some healing
Sometimes it seems the weight we have to bear
Becomes so heavy
And then the light disappears
As a mocking voices taunt us to give up
Or seek oblivion
But in the end what will happen
If we refuse to face
The truth?
The truth is you are my kin
And I love you
And sometimes in stepping and trying to
Force a change
We doom ourselves fail
Only to learn
A deeper lesson
Of humbling
But God knows
The reason why we humans
Try and fail
Is love
And love will bear with it all
Even with the failures
That drop us into those ever deepening lessons
Of falling
Of vulnerability
Of surrender
In our own ways, we are all vulernerable and fragile …

We are the steelier the defense possibly the more pain and vulnerability rejected and dumped into the shadow, Ivor.

I think so many of us feel that way Ivor but you had so much to deal with especially with Carole and also all your Dad went through and how you tried to be there for him.. You are a lovely and special person and one I feel so grateful to call a friend.. β€ hugs dear Ivor
