Seii Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 Unfortunately, not many seem to comfort the comforters in my experience. This poem strikes a chord with me, as I've wondered about this same thing often. ...Yet, I have to wonder why this bothers me so much. After all, if my motivation for doing these things is to help, then I have achieved what I set out to achieve. Perhaps after all I am being selfish, doing good deeds to attempt to gain attention. In the end, I find that helping others really must be a selfless thing to be worth much. And what they will not notice when you are present will do no more good for them to notice if you are gone.

Peredhil Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 Where is your validation? In a spouse? Children? Friends? God? Where ever you put your validating influence, you will pursue. As a parent of children who occasionally act like hotel room guests (you mean, laundry DOESN'T do itself?) I can sometimes relate to the feelings you've expressed. Well written. I'D miss you.

Ayshela Posted April 1, 2003 Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 *nod* all my life the only things anyone noticed were those which i did not do. you've said it so well! perhaps, if someone else feels it too, i'm not as crazy as i sometimes feel, to wish in random moments to be more than a mere drudge? thank you.

Psimon Posted April 3, 2003 Report Share Posted April 3, 2003 I, for one, would most certainly notice (but I could be a little biased, neh? ) A beautiful piece from a beautiful person My earnest reply (if I were priviledged enough to have the opportunity): Would they notice .... the tears on the pillow dried on my skin as I hold you close in repentence my bandaged hand wet from my tears of regret the broken glass in the garbage retrieved as a reminder to me of how I let you down the fist of wrinkles in one shirt ironed away as I ponder your selfless efforts the glass that was missing replaced by a crystal rose Would they notice Yes... a warm body in the bed and to bask in the warmth of your heart lunches made enjoyed knowing the soft hands that prepared the meal the booboo kissed the gentleness of your smile the floors washed walking barefoot to your side the dog walked together, so glad to share nature's beauty with you the laundry clean ,folded and put away again, together as I listen to you share your thoughts and emotions If the dishes were done after I had cooked you a meal, run your bath, and warmed the massage oils... I would notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
