by Mary Jo Russell  When we tried once more to part
Our friends said that we cared too much. But I’ve known within my heart That our love was just a crutch. Though we’re lonely when apart, There’s always calm instead of storm. All those teardrops from the start Can’t keep my life and love from harm. Chorus: Till today I wasn’t sure Why my life was insecure. Now I know I can’t deny I just can’t wait to say “goodbye.” Though we’ve tried and tried anew, Hoping our dreams would come around, Another’s affection for you grew And pushed aside the love I’d found. Chorus: Till today I wasn’t sure Why my life was insecure. Now I know I can’t deny I just can’t wait to say “goodbye.” The song above was written by my mother, no doubt referring to my abusive father. There are a multitude of good causes for Quakers to support, but the struggle to end domestic violence is surely one that Friends should consider. ~ submitted by Richard Russell
