The world in despair is a devastating feeling for all of us. The stress that we go through every day could be less and less if only we stopped trying to out best the other. Instead of crying let us be happy in the deeds we do for others. This piece tells of raw feelings of despair, but do we have to have those feelings? NO! WE DON'T! I have been saying this for as long as I can remember, that we need to live and let live, and be accepting of those individuals that are different than us. Let us not cry for the world will not cry with us, but laugh at us. Let us be happy so the world can be happy with us.

I love the form of this piece Tinka, because it brings home the truth of life on this tiny little planet, third from the star sun Sol. Thank you for sharing.
May the Lord Jesus bless you, and 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 WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie

Tinka, ebony never painted such a creative rendering of despair my dear friend. This is a very compelling piece of work. I know this was not created in a few moments in a casual mood. You have given this work its own soul and a troubled spirit. Bravo! I bid you love nd peace. Jon Michael

OUTSTANDING, Tinka. Though sad and desperate, the verses are expressive enough to cause me to believe that, beneath it all, there is still a shard of hope. Happy New Year,my friend. (still longing for those boots!)
Take care,
Sherry

Deep and intense...the pain and sadness permeates each line held together with just the right linking words.
