Yes, I know this poem well. Sometimes during my darkest moments I have felt the need to talk to someone who seems more sincere than those that know you. I say that because when in need those who know you can often pass by your want of need, in glib understanding. The Samaritans however do care for those that find themselves going through a rough time. They should be given more exposure, with an emphasis on 'having the courage' to phone. Because some people are so down about themselves and life that they don't often have the courage to make the call that they 'should' be able to make. They don't realize that they, we all, are, someone, and each of us matter.
Nice work.
Stay well.
Mike

Very good John. As well as having made that same phone call many years ago I had the same response and outcome.
