When Lightning Strikes. by Cheesy Tears come, welcomed. Pain is the companion now. Held close in a greedy way. Alone suffers the broken heart, By choice, or fear. Solum passes single moments, And no sound breaks losses grip. Angels gone in a whispers time, Or slipping silently away, Let darkness come, unwelcomed, And teary eyes can't see. But thru long nights Where we empty vessels shake, A light flashes bright, And lights for us the way. It comes to us like the shadows did, But brightness to chases them And removes the tarish stain. We have found in that bright flash, Silver white and true, That though grief may be, And our hearts are torn in two, That in this place where lightning guides, But thunder never strays, In our pain we have the key To heal and renew. That though we all are broken, We are strong in all these things, We chose to let that light flash in, And give us back the day. This site has helped me soo much, and it has meant the world to me. I just wanted to post this. I was thinking about this place, and all the sadness, and hurt we all have, and though it pains me, I found a smile hiding in my tears. The smile was that we are all here. We have each other, and more people join each day. So we can all lean on, cry for, and care for each other. I thank God for all of you, For this place, and that there is a place where we don't have to be alone. -------------------- [FONT=Optima][SIZE=1][COLOR=orange]Cheddar:September 2 02, my world got brighter, cause I brought you home. July 21, 07, I thought my world dimed because you left it. The light that you brought me lives on, thru me, in my heart you can never dim.

Cheesy,
What a beautiful poem. You are right, I don't know what I would have done without this site. Losing my beloved pet, Zoe, is the hardest, most unbearable time in in life. However, the wonderful people on this site, pulled me through to let the sunshine in my heart and have happy thoughts of my sweet precious Zoe. She will forever be in my heart. Thanks for sharing your poem. Thanks to everyone for you help coping with my loss. Big Hugs to all of you, Deanna |

Your poem is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it.
When I read your words afterwards...especially how this place keeps us from being alone...I just burst into tears... it is so very true. This place exists because of a very special cat named Tribble. We thank you so much, Tribble...your work here will never be done..as long as we all continue to have these special sweethearts in our lives. It is because of you so many who are hurting so badly...know they are not alone...and somehow that helps to bear the pain. Because of you...healing starts. Because of you..many new homeless and unwanted babies find a home and we who live in pain can once again feel that special unconditional love that babies like you taught us all about. We cannot thank you enough. -------------------- LITTLE GUY - May 28, 1991 - Sept 10, 2007 - Always in my Heart.
