Breaking Point

 

You spit on my floor,

But I shall forgive.

 

You spit in my face,

But I turn my cheek.

 

You spit on my soul,

But I don’t react.

 

You spit on my mind,

But I shall still dream.

 

You spit on my heart,

But I walk away.

 

You spit on my friend;

For this, you shall pay.

Julie, Stephen, Rudyard, Brenda, K Lynn, John, Hélène and Holden

Thank you Keith, Flyntland and Uilleam. Sometimes we can shrug off slights and insults as not being worth a response, but it can be a different matter when a friend (especially a vulnerable one) comes in for this treatment.

And thanks to Julie, Stephen, Rudyard, Brenda, K Lynn, John, Hélène and Holden for your support.

Someone close once advised me:
"What matters is, not so much the problems you have to deal with, but the way you deal with them."

I can to some extent, control my own problems, but I must give my friend the benefit of the doubt?

I like this 'broad shoulderd' approach to life - coupled with ' but I will support those who need it'.

A poem with much to ponder on.
A good construction and an ending which plunges the reader into thought.
Thanks for this
Keith
