I agree with you..without hope all is lost!

Excellent, excellent, writing!...

All I wanted was you my friend,
But you are never there…

Reviewed on March 9, 2004

sometimes, at all times perhaps, you've got to let these feelings go...let them out into the light of day for examination and contemplation...and then, move on into what is promised to us all...for god is, truly, love...a wonderful, thoughtful write, poet.

The pain is evident and real.
I am so sorry. One must always have
hope, that is what keeps me going!
You got to have FAITH!

Hope, and spiritual is what we need to lean on. You're right, friends sometimes will fail us. On the other hand: friends don't fail us. Those who do, aren't true friends.
