Gimme 3 lines of your time...

I was sitting at my desk and this mini poem came to me:


I came to a place when I had lost all hope.


It filled me with compassion and love.


Everyday someone there touches my heart.



I don't know why three little lines came to me all of a sudden.

Lisa: Sending hugs to you. And I am not the creative writer and/or poet like many of you, but here is my 3 lines done quite quickly as almost time to leave for therapy.

Some might say they are only strangers to me,
But how can that be,
When they have all touched me and left their mark on my heart.

***** All of you wonderful ladies on this board have touched my heart, so thank you for that. May God Bless you all! Love, Josie.

Hi, I haven't been around either, but it's nice to stop in once in a while. When I come here I feel like this: Here are my lines.

A crystal blue shard of ice, I land in softly falling snow.
A hand, caring and kind, gently lifts me from my icy cold place.
As a river in spring, I begin to melt. I am home and I am warm.

Good to see you all.

Beyond the words, there is hope.
Beyond the thoughts, there is caring.
Beyond the messages, there are real people and real friendships.

sorry that u r down

winter casts an angry face
its snowy shadow follows suit, but
the sadness soon gets swallowed by the happy avalanche of spring

i hope that your spring of happiness finds u soon,

Wow, you all are wonderful. Thank you for giving a few lines. I currently have a migraine so pardon me if I don't post a lot tonight. But I wanted to thank you for your lovely poems.

Keep them coming. We need to let ourselves try, every once in a while.

Sending hugs and good thoughts your way.

Take care,

first of all, i am sorry you are sad and i hope you feel better soon!!!!

these are my 3 lines (and after that is a little more i have to say) :)

from our deepest darkest places together we build a heap of strength
how beautiful that such healing and compassion can arise
together we transform something ugly into something beautiful

who knew in a world where people closest to us can hurt us the most
that love and caring from strangers will help us get through?
thank you all for being such amazing people.
it's amazing to me that we are so different and so similar at the same time, so distant yet so close. you guys have been there for me in my worst moments- when i was too embarrassed or ashamed to talk to most people, you guys never made me feel guilty for my depression- you always remind me of my strength.
