Today, 9-10-15, in Micropoetry... "Take Care"

Today in micropoetry, we have my poem on informing all you lovely people to realize how suicide is real and love is a healing entity. I've been in situations where I've aided people who even had a glimmer of reaching that dark place and I'm thankful to have been able to be there for them :) For now, here's "Take Care" - and yes, that is the suicide hotline listed in my poem!

=================================

Take care;
Let them know you’re there.
Say hi;
Smile and stay for awhile.
Nab their shoulder;
Tell them life won’t be much colder.
Listen for that call at 3 in the morning;
You better not be snoring,
Because their life may get gory.
If they tell you they need help,
Yelp at them to call 1-800-273-8255
And not be ashamed
For feeling more fragile than a candy cane…
Shower them with encouragement and love,
As doves will free them from their pain
While we all enjoy this summer rain!
