It has been over a year since you last posted. And I was looking forward to seeing more of your stories. Welcome to Mingles.

Well done, thanks for sharing.

Now I'm retired. I was a homemaker, wife, stay at home mom, until the nest was empty. Then I went to work as a office manger, kept everything running smoothly along with accounting and payroll.

Let it rain, let it rain!

Very nice, thanks for sharing.

Well wishes, so sorry! Prayers for a full and speedy recovery...

This says it all. A picture is worth a thousand words.

Only a memory of what once was mine.

I feel disgusted,
I find so many people are just rude...
I wonder what happen to manners,
has it just become a word in the dictionary?
people don't want to be judged,
often people are hard on themselves,
they don't need strangers doing it too,
the world has become a dark and ugly place,
people suffer from confident issues,
we shouldn't judge others,
people need to be encouraged and accepted,
one smile or encouraging word could make a difference,
think about that...
one smile or word could change someone's life,
perhaps even the world eventually.

People may be beautiful on the outside,
but what's inside is what really counts.
Let's learn to be more supportive, encouraging,
helpful, accepting and most of all...
Let's be kind!

IF, you can't say something kind, don't say anything at all.

Wow, that is powerful word play!
I liked, I liked very much.

Spiritual, very nice...

It is good to see that you have been able to dissolve the issue you had with posting pictures. I love the graphics you set your poems in. Very creative.

A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and man cannot live without love. ~Max Muller

Better a broken heart careful wrapped and locked away than a heart that has turned to stone.

It pleases me that you were so moved to share your thoughts.

A broken heart,
will bring brave men
to their knees,
because of the pain.

A broken heart,
carefully wrapped
n' locked away,
with key hidden.

A broken heart,
locked away leaves
joy n' happiness
without a heart.

A broken heart,
can heal n' love
once more, to love
n' be loved makes
life worthwhile.

Another great word play! I love it...

Good to see you have solved the graphic problem.

Very nice...
