Still hurting, still aching, still afraid to write my own stuff........
Here, then, is A REMINDER, of the damage that words can do.

Started as a Whisper - Susan Ashton
She slipped into church
She sat on the back row
Cause she thought she'd find a little comfort there
A mother to be... she was just a child herself
And alone it was an awful lot to bear
And all she wanted was
A friendly hand to help her through
yeah yeah
Looking around
She felt an uneasiness
From the eyes of condemnation staring back
Cold Hellos
judgemental overtones.
As the hope within her heart began to crack.
Faces draped in doubt, ushering her out
Started as a whisper, spread into rumor, turned into lies.
A blemish in the picture
upsetting the scene in their eyes
Started as a whisper
Subtle remarks of disapproval
Poor little sister
It started as a whisper
but she got the message loud and clear.
She picked up her coat
She fumbled with her dignity.
Then she grabbed her pride and headed for the door.
Conclusions were made
And notions were preconceived
For her reputation she could not restore.
Stealthy is the tongue
Oh the damage done
Started as a whisper, spread into rumor, turned into lies.
A blemish in the picture
upsetting the scene in their eyes
Started as a whisper
Subtle remarks of disapproval
Poor little sister
It started as a whisper
but she got the message loud and clear.
the Chance we have today just may be gone tomorrow
and when it comes down to the soul
Time may not be borrowed

To help soothe your pain
>>>>>>. Everybody Hurts Sometime <<<<
When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes
Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on
'Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone
Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts. You are not alone
