'Forever crying softly but never shedding a tear' is a truly beautiful line and must resonate with so many of us. Very best wishes, Ann

Thank you for the kind words, Ann! Ironically, your story and poems are amongst those that inspired some of these words so I'm glad to hear that it at least resonates in some capacity! May you continue bravely moving forward with faith, hope, love and optimism for brighter tomorrows as I know you are! And please keep writing.
All the best,
Doug
I learned this poem in High School back in 1980. Although my English teacher Ms Ruth Wright, called it Carver's poem she always let us know it was written by Edgar Guest and it was required reading in her class. I kept a copy of it on my dresser for over 20 years and used to give a framed copy to my nieces and nephews when they graduated from high school as inspiration. It has always been a part of my journey. Recently I recited part of it to my twin nephews at their graduation ceremony. This is one for the books and I will always cherish being introduced to it so long ago.
I adore this poem so much I have it tattooed on my thigh, it reminds constantly to just trust everything will work out and to keep going even on the worst days!

I believe that more often than not, nice guys finish last. You will find someone who loves themselves enough to believe they deserve your kind of love. The kind that we should all experience. Being treated with respect and kindness is what every woman deserves , even if they don't know it yet. Keep on being you and keep loving the way you do. Your special someone will come one day. Don't change how you love because the nice guys deserve the best and the same kind of love in return.
Always good to read about lasting love. Very best wishes, Ann
A lovely poem, I only wish my faith was as strong as yours. Best wishes, Ann
I had a best friend when in grade 3 but she left my school and went to another, of course we do chat once in a while. But I can feel it she's got another best friend. I met an introverted person last year We're really going on well. I don't know if she's my best friend now but I love her so much and apparently she does too. All our classmates are jealous of our friendship especially the guys.
My teacher told me to learn this poem for assembly and when I searched this was the first thing that popped up it's so nice A.A Milne is such a good poet.
P.S can someone tell me the correct pronunciation of Milne
