In The Lurch

Very powerful, and I love the visual. Control those emotions!

I stand in those shadows

but I do not stand alone. There with me are my children, and walking away just isn't that easy.

Outstanding. AND, I try always to be the first to walk away, although this has caused me a bit of difficulty in years past, but none the less not as much as it would have if I'd just stood there

Sam-what a lovely piece! I felt every second of reading it-in the past it

has been me-who stood and watched the 'other' walk away! You are so right in the words you have written! Chris.

I liked this one very much......

WHEN STANDING IN THE SHADOWS OF SADNESS.

               BE THE FIRST TO WALK AWAY!

 

If only we could follow this advice consistently........
