A Wonderful World?

Goldfinch60



People can be very strange in life!

It seems that many do not notice your tears

Or the sadness that is within you.

They do not notice the pain,

The pain that can be in your life.

They just cannot see that you need help,

Even just a word of kindness

Would help so much,

And maybe bring you into a healing place.

But the one thing they always notice,

And tell you about them,

Are the mistakes you make.

Why cannot we help each other,

And produce a wonderful world?

    Nice caring writing .. and good question . I think some people are a lot more compassionate and caring than others ,

    • Goldfinch60

      Thank you Violet, yes some are more compassionate but you only hear about those who are not.

      I agree some people can be strange ,

    • arqios

      Most people care but also most people although they care could not be bothered for the weight that they themselves bear.

      • Goldfinch60

        Thank you Rik.

        It would take more than that to produce a wonderful world.
        Tell me do I begin to sound like a Jeramiah?
        (A biblical reference – Sunday school background unfurled)
        Wot a load of cobblers – you know answers are much drier.

        Keep spreading the message, Andy - yer never know...

        • Goldfinch60

          One can but hope Dave.

          A saying is 'There's nowt so queer (strange) as folk!'
          A church group plans to pray with people for healing in Asda, and other places. Why has Asda been picked out? There are other shops in the Precinct. Do more sick and unwell people go there? Doh!

          • Goldfinch60

            That is strange, I have never been to Asda so I would miss out.

              You would get a healing! Though they may use 'scripts' - inspired ones, they will say. You could be 'Case No.47 on Page 84 of the Healing Manual, or something like that! Sounds a bit like Sooty waving his magic wand and saying 'Izzy wizzy, let's get busy'. But I don't believe healing is magical.
              Oh it's just me being cynical - I don't always get on with Baptists.

            • orchidee

              Oh, and a bit creepy - the church is setting up a Bereavement group, when they have enough people. Do they meane enough helpers, or enough whose relatives have died, or both?
              Unsaid words - 'We can't run the group yet; not enough people have died!' I wouldn't put it past them to make people PAY to go to that group.

              Could it be that we don’t want griefs shadow to cast on us by extension?

              • Goldfinch60

                Maybe Suresh but it would be good to have all folks friendly with each other.

                its a wonderful world for sure, look for the good, its all there.

                • Goldfinch60

                  It certainly is d a.

                  I sometimes think that our technological world has led us to a place of emotional isolation. So many interactions take place via the internet where we don't hear voices or see faces, and somehow it's spilling over into daily life. A truly soul searching poem dear friend, one that we should to heart. And nobody sings it like Louis!

                  • Goldfinch60

                    Thank you Bella, you are probably right, technology has a great deal for which to answer in our contact with each other.

                    I agree with ya here. The world is weird and i often question a lot.
                    Great read.

                    • Goldfinch60

                      Thank you Crystal, much appreciated.
