When someone tries to make a start.

By sharing what is in their heart.

Exposing all those inner fears.

That often bring them close to tears.



It’s not an easy thing to do.

Sharing things that you’ve been through.

There’s little that’s comparable.

For making you feel vulnerable.



For those who share their pain’s affect.

I have the greatest of respect.

To share when back’s against the wall.

Can offer insight to us all.



It can seem very hard at first.

To talk of things when at their worst.

But if you do, you light the way.

Enabling folk to have their say.



You give the opportunity.

For folks to show their unity.

They see things from your point of view.

Because of what they have been through.



It seems this process rarely fails.

To help the people tell their tales.

As they reply and think they should.

It helps them feel they’re doing good.



So sure, it comes as no surprise.

For me to praise these great replies.

I love to see you folks converse.

At those times when things get worse.



Your stories fill me with great pride.

For I no longer have to hide.

And if I can’t express myself.

I use your stories from the shelf.

Hello fellow ostomates,Thanks for your comments. It's always pleasing to have uplifting remarks made about one's work. My thanks must also go to those who provide the subject matter for the rhymes - which is in this case yourselves.

Hey Bill, they are nice :) XX. Sorry, not a great reply, but I'm not really used to rhymes except the dirty ones. LOL? Mooza hahahah. Have a great day/night/evening :) X

Hello Mooza. Thanks for your comment. I was thinking that poems about poo, blood and bags and stuff was about as 'dirty' as you could get! Best wishes Bill
