Grand thought

[marph]

I have been cleaning out my desk in preparation for 2017 when I found this powerful poem a friend gave me. It brings tears to my eyes each time I read it. Enjoy

I walked a mile with pleasure, she chatted all the way

but left me none the wiser for all she had to say. .

I walked a mile with sorrow and ne'er a word said she

but oh the things i learned from her when sorrow walked with me.

[abirke]

So true Marph, so true I felt a knife cutting through me when I read the last line...

[marph in reply to abirke]

It came from a friend whose husband died about a year ago.

[pzagy]

So true I would walk a million miles with pleasure

[Noella21]

Amen.
