I thought it was about someone you knew at first Dip? It's difficult to help those with depression as they become quite self absorbed and my first husband suffered on occasions, a heartfelt write, love Dolly x

You know something, Dip? You are a really nice guy. There are far too many Suzies in this world. Some of them make really good poets too. I think you have to have been touched by pain to write about pain in others. I am using the word "pain" here in its widest sense -- like the Suzies of this world,

You're such a great guy, Mark. Even before I read the poem, I was already in love with the title.
And then I read the author's notes and decided you deserved the six stars for sure.
Wonderful post altogether.
Thanks for caring.

Wow! I thought you knew a Suzie. This was tender and heartfelt and thoughtfully penned dip. I'm sure everyone knows a Suzie. This had a very musical feel to it.

I liked this stanza the best

"If only we could understand
That pain that lies within
If only I could take her hand
And help her return her grin"

There would be many that could relate to this with their own story of hidden pain.
Great job dip

Dip,

I agree. And I can think of at least two people here on FanStory right off who are DEEPLY hurting and needing all the support they can get from friends and fans and caring folk. You know, we never, ever know what a simple kind word can mean to someone. And they cost us NOTHING. Thanks for the reminder!
