Oh Dear!

by Edie M. Batstone — Read all 134 poems by Edie M. Batstone

I find myself using the word 'dear' more often these days, out of feelings of gratitude and a desire to comfort those around me in these stressful times; hoping that I will not be misunderstood. I've expanded a bit more on this in my blog.

Wednesday, April 24, 2024

Did you hear,
I've dropped a 'dear',
One that was meant for you;
A tiny word
That once it's heard,
Can mean one thing, or two;
My sole intent,
When it was sent,
Was to share a kindness true ,
If you pick
It up,
Then, don't be shy,
Just pass it on, please do!
   Edie Batstone

I will certainly pass it on and try to say a kind word to those who need someone near and dear.

There is a difference between calling someone Dear and saying, Oh dear. The first one is truly very personal, while the second meaning is less personal but heartfelt.

Put in a poem is very nice.
