Slow realization

Acceptance

now that will take more time

I can understand

You want to hear the answer

Explanations from others are not the same

Left waiting

Doubts growing

Constant questions

All I can give is acceptance

letting you know you are not alone

Never alone

The things beyond our control that we would love to help another person with, but cannot, and hence, we can only be there for them. Beautifully expressed.

[Jon Roggie]

Sometimes, it is all you can do. You are just there.

[Papaya]

Sometimes you just need to let them know you're there and accept things for what they are.
I agree with what you're saying here. Wise old turtle. Of young. Whatever. :)

[Jon Roggie]

First, to be cranky, it is tortoise. Seriously, you can't do a thing. All part of learning about life. Painful to watch.

[Papaya]

Yeah, I know. Tortoise. Oops. :)

[Jon Roggie]

Just because we both have shells....

[Papaya]

Half shells technically

[Jon Roggie]

Yes, both a top and bottom shell. Don't get me talking about shells!

[Papaya]

Lol. Ok. Ok. I was just quoting TMNT.

[Jon Roggie]

Sure. They always get the publicity. ;)

[Papaya]

I have no witty response. :)

[Jon Roggie]

I know Cranky Old Shaolin Tortiose. Now, there is a comic meant to be made into a movie.

[Papaya]

Kung Fu Panda. Way cooler.

[Jon Roggie]

COST to be the boss. Also, I just realized this was a serious poem. We both went off topic too easily. I will blame you, and say no harm done;)

[Papaya]

As I was saying, it's all part of life. Accept things for what they are, offer support and guidance as you can, remember it is human to forgive and when opportunity presents, lighten the mood and spirits.

[Jon Roggie]

Nice recovery. You can't explain everything. You are sitting outside. You just let them know you are there.

[Papaya]

Thank you. And I agree.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

acceptance is not an overnight thing...we all have those questions...but doubts make the answers harder to define.

[Jon Roggie]

Sometimes, you can only give support to the one in doubt.

[Shannon]

There is a barely concealed helplessness here.

[Jon Roggie]

That about sums it up. You know the problem, but the other person has to move forward. All you can do is give support.
