REPOSTING OF WHEN TERRIBLE THINGS HAPPEN TO MEANINGFUL INDIVIDUALS - UPDATED ESPECIALLY FOR A EXTRA SPECIAL VERY DEAR LONGTIME FRIEND MARGARET! - 1/12/2019
Like the tender plantings (shown above)
that survived dew & raindrops,
and cradle the stormy water in its petals for a winged passerby to take a sip;
so too did my special friend Margaret offer a willing hand to assist even if beset by
those with an idle lip.
Therefore, it was very troubling to learn that her life was consumed by a disaster,
that left her covered with "bandagster",
even though there is no hope for her recovery,
in spite of what has left her now limp & without any more times of laughter,
her vibrancy wasn't at all like batter.
How do we go on when under what isn't banter?
by lending a hand to another & NOT FOCUSING on the collective whispers
of the prevailing well-wisher,
who often speak from positions of "power", no matter.
My closing wish for the tender-voice girl of my youth,
is that my special longtime Friend Margaret who will no longer be a tender flower,
in spite the circumstances she endured that can be compared to being beset by stalkers,
who chose to move on instead of remaining as if she was like unmotivated talkers,
continually searching & instead she gained the strength to become very careful & selective just as if she was at the "masters".
