"Hope never dies it just falls and rises / As I do and yet I think about you / And wonder if love could ever be true "

Transcendental Sonnet #1359:
Still-Life With Cat

When I am depressed I neglect myself
Lying about like a corpse on a shelf
In a morgue somewhere or a dusty tomb
On the couch in blankets in my front room
Wrapped like a mummy cat on my tummy
Encyclopedias litter the floor
As I ignore the Mormons at the door

When the mail comes I might get a letter
I might write something good and feel better
I feel so alone but sometimes the phone
Will ring and bring me happy surprises
Hope never dies it just falls and rises
As I do and yet I think about you
And wonder if love could ever be true

Hope is always available to the true believers in love and that the heart is not just another organ.

Awwwwww Steven the picture is so precious, and so is this poem.
"And wonder if love could ever be true"...I have asked myself this question over and over for the last 38 years, because of blame I put on one person, realizing it was not her fault entirely, because I was at fault too, not having enough courage to tell my mother what I needed, or who I really was deep inside. But yes Steven, love can ever be true. May the Lord Jesus bless you and yours, and all those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little den sister, Barbie

"If I have to be this girl in me, Then I may as well be."
