No matter how we plan our lives, that plan never seems to work out. It is sad when the light of love goes out, be it a lover, family or friends. Well done.

I started reading your poem and wasn't expecting to see the hope I did at the end, but that was very delightful and nice to see. Life definatly is never planned, and we have to take each day as it comes. Your title spoke the entire message you were trying to get across, and your poem reflected that. Well done Cindy.

A sad write but it shows that your heart has
taken the right decision....hope you are okay.
take care..hugs

Excellent poem Cindy - You just get better and better! :-)

Another great piece dear. Could see inbetween words the pain and emotions which has been released. Facts of life has been potrayed in the best possible manner.
Great write friend.

I really think you did a great job with this poem... You really show ur hurt feelings.. Great job

Another sad yet beautifuly penned pice.The way you express your innermost feelings always brings a tear to the eyes.
Take care my friend.

Cindy. This is a masterpiece. Each and every worried carries a temple of wisdom, and especially, the last stanza:

Life is never what we plan
Maybe soon you won't be blind
Remenber your lessons taught
Look within and peace you'll find.

By far, this is the best poem i've ever read by your Cindy. THE BEST. An unhesitant 5 for me. Walah.

A wonderful rhyming poem here, Cindy that is raw with emotion.
I love how the sadness of this piece subtly gives way to hope in the penultimate stanza
"You can't hurt me anymore" and then collapses completely in the last as hope wins out: "Look within and peace you'll find".
Even our darkest clouds are lined with silver.

Great write, great flow and wonderful sentiment. All the very best Cindy,
Ben
