Who will be there to cheer up the one
who always cheers up others?


When the kind heart fails, who will come?

When the kind heart fails
and silent tears have formed an internal lake
Will a true friend be there -
one who hears the silent tears -
to restart the heart?

Or will it be the backs of friends -
who have ignored the barely-whispered pain -
the friends that are fake?

O' who would save this tortured soul
when hope is fading
almost lost?
would you also forsake it?

Who will be there to cheer up the one
who always cheers up others?
when the kind heart begins to fail
who will come?

When the sun has nearly stopped shining
and encroaching darkness is overwhelming,
will anyone be there -
someone who really does care?
Please, tell me -
who will stop this internal crying?
[for drowning in it's lake, I am close to dying]

No-one you're too far away...
.. for it may be to late to help

Lizzy! Lizzy,!
This poem clutches my heart tight in its grip!!!!
I am speechless, stunned, saddened, anguished, my heart goes out to you!

Cheer up! For a heart who cares, there are more than that heart knows, who would come... Sometimes beyond the expectations!

((((((hugs to hold you together on you 'down' day)))))

Love & take care, Lizzy dear!
