  1. There’s one sad truth in life I’ve found
    While journeying east and west –
    The only folks we really wound
    Are those we love the best.
    We flatter those we scarcely know,
    We please the fleeting guest,
    And deal full many a thoughtless blow
    To those who love us best.
    ~Ella Wheeler Wilcox

  3. frostier,
    I felt a tinge of guilt when I read that poem. Thank you for sharing. We really should take the trouble to appreciate the people who love us most and whom we love before it is too late. Take care mate.

    Marita,
    I was very innocent then…
