Poem Artwork

Tell me some stories and make me believe
Make me stop wearing my heart on my sleeve
Feelings of pain, lonliness, and of hurt
Better I purchase a longer sleeved shirt

Happiness lurks in the cracks in the dark
Once in a while I go search on a lark
One time I caught it but then let it go
Being so young then how was I to know

Older and wiser Ive heard from my friends
I am not sure of how this story ends
Hoping is all that I really can do
Wishing the best for myself and for you

SOMETIMES WE GET A SECOND CHANCE TO RE-DO WHAT WE MESSED UP, SOMETIMES...NOT. BUT SURE, AFTER A HARSH LESSON, HOPEFULLY, WE DO WITH GOD'S HELP, 'RISE'... OLDER AND WISER. GREAT WORK, ENJOYED. THANKS FOR SHARING, MY FRIEND. BLESSINGS, LOVE, FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS.

A very encouraging message from someone who has experienced a lot in life. I like the whimsical tone and creative wording like "longer sleeves." And, what a lovely picture!

JANE ....

WELL DONE GAL !
REMINDS ME OF SONG LYRICS OF AN OLD FAVORITE TUNE.
" BUT I WAS OLDER AND WISER THEN, THAN I AM NOW..."

HOPE CAN BE A MICHIEVOUS EVASIVE RASCAL SOMETIMES ...
BUT ALWAYS KNOW THAT IT LURKS NEARBY ALWAYS!

ALSO CONSIDER THAT ... THAT HEART ON THE SLEEVE
CAN SOMETIMES BE LIKE A BADGE OF COURAGE...
AN INDELIBLE BUT INVISIBLE TATTOO...
REMINDING US OF A FORMER ADVENTURE
ONCE ATTEMPTED, AND A MEMORABLE HISTORY
OF LOVE'S FORTUITOUS FOLLY...

"DUST YOURSELF OFF AND START RIGHT OVER AGAIN!"

PEACE ... Tom ...

This is magnificent, Jane. Perfect rhyming, ultra motivation thoughts, and one hundred percent Jane. One of, if not the, best poem I have ever read of yours.

Seems like you have a positive attitude on life and about friends. It will always end well if you remember your last line.
