Sir ...

Can you not walk?
Can you not talk?

Why did this happen to you?
So, so very sad - but true.

Can you not eat?
Can you not stand on your feet?

No. You cannot. I'm sorry to say ...
Horrible things turn out this way.

Hi, RedHeadedTaurus,
Horrible things turn out this way...such a sad tale of woe. It's one of life's great mysteries that bad things happen to both the good and the less than good.

A pebble hits the water and the water ripples outwards,
to God knows where.

So often, we know not the outcome, as in "the Butterfly effect."

Sometimes one person's apparent tragedy results in the transformation of unknown lives or systems.

On a Soul level, I wonder if the one who "agrees" to experience the tragedy does so for the sake of hundreds, or maybe even millions.

If so, that is beyond courageous. That is of deep Love.

Whoever Sir is in your life, I'm sorry for your loss. May you one day receive solace from his bravery.

RedHeadedTaurusOPHere, Michigan USAJan 12, 2011

That's because you are, Cusp.

Thanks.

Beautifulyou ... Sir is a loved one who is the most special person I have ever known, to put it lightly.

He is still alive.

Suffered so much despair ...

I'll leave it at that, on this public forum.

Your words are very touching.

Thank you.

Tragedy happens all too frequently.
Make the most of every day. Sorry
for your friends plight.

Now I've found another sad poem of yours >_<// ..

I dont know how tough time you have been through but I'm sure , he or 'sir' is the most important one for you.. DO you still love him? If you do, Do you believe in Miracle? I do.. I've had a very tough time too.

Long time ago..(when i was 14-15) my dad had a car accident, he couldnt walk, talk or even do anything by himself..The doctor said, he had paralysis and never gonna do anything 4ever...(thanks Doc! I was almost knock him out that time).. First I didnt understand why God chose him! perhaps God knew that my dad was strong enough to accept the truth and I could cope it... but if it happened to someone else. They might want to die...

day after day, year after year ...tons of tears..with all my love, I prayed every night for a miracle... five years passed, ..... God did it again, but this time God did make a miracle ! My dad could walk again, eat by himself again (but only one left hand)!...I was sooooooooo happy... Though he's passed away four yrs ago from heart disease...

ermmm.... -_-'' I forgot again that you dont know me... I always forgot myself and talked too much to a stranger... +_+'' am crazy! >_</ wellll.... sorry if my story is boring you but I just feel your poem is like my life.. something like that..so.. I wanna tell you that nothing can hurt you n nothing can take away your 'love' from you, unless you dont want to keep them with you. you're pretty, you dont suit tears! smile & believe in your love!

Cheers,
S&S

I sense that this poem is a continuation of 'That day', showing once again a deep devotion and care for someone very close to you. I'm sorry for the pain you're carrying in your heart, and thankful you're here to seek comfort through being able to express yourself through your beautiful poetry.
HUGS to you RHT!

Very touching comment.

schawalskiCork, IrelandFeb 27, 2011

is it about an elderly person or perhaps someone who had an accident either way i'm intrigued , I like your poems red

RedHeadedTaurusOPHere, Michigan USAFeb 27, 2011

I appreciate it, schawalski ...

Yes, he was in an accident.

He is a loved one of mine, also ...

As do beautiful things. Stand where you see the beauty. That's where love is ... did I say you know?

One of these days I am going to shoot you in the face.... umm figuratively.... like in a dream congealing into reality.
