The Missing Person Shirley Ann Pendleton
The Missing Person
The nights are long when I can’t sleep
and I can’t stand the thoughts that creep
into my mind reminding me
of yesteryears catastrophies
It hurts when I recall a boy
Telling me how I destroyed
A unit called our family
Three of them and one of me
I’d take all the blame were it but mine
But, that’s not real, yet still I pine
and because that boy thinks less of me.
I’m stuck with his reality
a girl of mine felt wrath at me
the time has changed its quality
for now she turns her wrath within
and I feel guilt because she’s kin
I’d take all the blame were it but true
But, that’s not real, so it won’t do
The nights are long when I don’t sleep
And my heart still aches, for the wounds were deep

interesting, to say the least ; ) this piece does bring up all sorts of questions re thee, sir lloyd.
Hey Kim;
Yes, I agree and because my veracity is at stake and I value your opinion I will try of explain. Since I have a tendency to wander and explore bunny tails, I must needs try to be as concise as I can. To quote Douglas McArthur, "I shall return." And thanks for bringing this to my attention, oh, perceptive one. grey
@saltypepper1357 - i am, perhaps, in the middle of being misunderstood, myself. again. it hurts because this one was close to me, for years. but i can wait no longer for him to grok me. 'twill never be. your posted piece here reminds me...there are others, everywhere, misunderstood.
(maybe we should start a 'church' ; )

Hail, Diana
Thou spake of starting a church. Methinks the notion might beareth merit. Joe Smith once, while praying devoutly to his Lord said, "Lord, I have tried the many, many churches around here (~paraphrase~) and remain uncertain. Which one is the TRUE church." The Lord said, "None of them, Joe. So, follow my instructions and start another one." That's pretty close. The early 1830's was a good time for starting churches; SDA, LDS, and others. 'Twas a planetary alignment thing.

@saltypepper1357 - ; ) if i be diana, who be thou? ; ) whilst thee think on this, i like what that particular Lord did say to Joe Smith. perhaps each of us, here and everywhere, is a 'church'. or so it seems to me, at this early hour ; )
