I was looking for something else and found this

[SueM in MN]

Its a poem and I thought someone might enjoy it::

Sometimes I feel like no one listens;
sometimes I feel like no one cares.
I'm caught up in my own troubles
and they in theirs.

Sometimes we need to share our troubles.
We need to know somebody cares;
that someone listens to my problems
and I to theirs.

We need to share our love for living.
We need somebody else who shares.
I need someone to take my giving
as I take theirs.

I wrote that a long time ago, when I had been feeling kind of sorry for myself, but had a good friend who listened and helped me.
After reading a few threads on different parts of the DIS Boards that made me feel the same way, I found this poem again and thought I would share it.
You can call it the Philosophy of the disABILITIES Boards.

I think I was meant to read that. It has been a rough day, and the poem really touched me. Thanks for sharing it.

Thank you for posting that. It has been a hard few days yet I know so many others have so much more to deal with in life.

Very nice.

I am at my wits end and there is no lifht or hope today but I come here and read of miracles and happy things. I help people and they are there when I am down. That poem sent me in tears as that is how I fell right now.

Thanks for the love, supports, wisdom and friendship and compassion and understanding.

Sue, that was lovely! That's how I feel about the sharing that happens on the disABILITIES board. Who was it that said "a trouble shared is a trouble halved"?

Thank you so much for posting!

Sue, when I read this I was sitting in the surgical waiting area while Alize underwent emergency revision of his shunt. Thank you for posting. BTW Alize is doing well. Karen
