A Pocketful of Sympathy

A pocketful of sympathy
Is really rather wonderful
To stop a scratch from stinging

    I have leaned that these are not just words you have thrown away on a piece of paper. They are the stuff that your heart is made of and because of that these are all the more beautiful words that I take and print upon my heart.
    Love to you Allie.

    What a lovely, inspirational poem. (You misspelled raindropp with 2 'p's'.) This could become a classic, and I'd love permission to post it in my blog (with full credit of course) . Thank you for sharing it.

    loved this beautiful poem, if everyone only had sympathy for people, instead of them self, what a much better world this would be, great write.

    A sweet, welcome write to all those (and who hasn't?) suffered in any way, shape or form! That loving word and smile makes all the difference, every time. Only a darling named Allie could write this poem! ... Love, Esther : ]

    In these hustling, bustling times there seems to be a shortage of Lindsay's magic Pudding. It takes good people to spread it around. Your terrific work does exactly that. Alison, it's a pleasure to have encountered you and your humane, exceedingly perceptive and eloquent mind. I see your comments here and there, and of course you've left some very generous ones at mine (for which many, many thanks) , and they are always so thoughtful and pertinent - sometimes in the midst of the wayward and downright bizarre (that would be mine from time to time) . They help to steady the ship. Thank you, jim. (And a belated happy birthday. Read Tara's lines earlier, and squinted at your entertaining and very impressive bio! !)
