If We'Re Really Lucky
This very close friend of ours has locked her heart up tight, how incredibly sad.
Now and then you meet someone who -- for whatever reason -- makes you work like hell to be their friend.
It’s often due to losses they have suffered in their life…relationships they didn’t want to end.
Although we understand the cause, to us, it’s unacceptable. We’ve also dealt with loss,we know the score…
But fending off the people who can help to ease your pain…who’d like to be your friend…and nothing more,
We believe’s a big mistake. And I can tell you this -- the warm and heartfelt friendship that you fight --
Is, in our opinion, dear, precisely what you need…and, if you’d drop your guard, you’ll find we’re right.
‘Til that day -- the only choice you leave us is to hope that someday you will let us play a part
In dressing any wounds you have, and -- if we’re really lucky -- to love you just enough to heal your heart.
PS: I've now got 4 new Audio-CDs to offer my poetry fans- @ 4 1/2 hours each = (62 diversely varied pieces). They’re listed on EBAY - under - “Mark Stellinga Poetry” -
