  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

  • The rule regarding AI content has been updated. The rule now rules as follows:

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

Let me know how u like it :wave:
Will you

if you saw me on the street & i needed help what would u do?
Pass me by? I thought u might.
You'll never know if you'll see me again,
even though we see each other every day,
tomorrow isn't granted.
Will u regret today? Will you face tomorrow fresh?
Or will you regret yesterday
& worry about what tomorrow may bring?
Part of living is taking chances,
& you miss 100% of the chance you don't take.
Sometimes you have to jump & hope that someone will catch you.
If you don't you could miss the best things in life.
Don't miss today & don't forget the past, the past makes you who you are.

I can see what you're saying, but the likely reason people have not responded, is that you could have done well to edit the poem before posting the thing.

For example, you wrote: "if you saw me on the street & i needed help what would u do?"--First of all, you should always write out the words. Instead of '&', write out 'and.' Also, instead of 'u', write out 'you.'

You also wrote: "You'll never know if you'll see me again,/even though we see each other every day,/tomorrow isn't granted."--This is almost like it's no more than a sentence chopped up into partial sentences so as to make a verse.

You could have written it more like:

Don't miss today; don't forget the past--
The past makes you what you are.
What would you do,
Seeing me in the street?
Would you pass me by?
--I thought so.
If again you'll see me,
You will never know;
Take not the morrow for granted,
But take a chance,
Take a look at the passers-by,
And ask yourself for a reply:
Will you see the morrow fresh?
Will you regret, or worry,
Of either today's or tomorrow's events?
One hundred per cent, I say,
Do you miss out on that day
--That day you pass me by.
Take a chance, let hope catch you;
Reach out a hand, let faith hold you;
Jump, if you must--
There's always a-one there to catch you.
If you don't try, won't you be sad?
Would you not have missed out?
How does yesterday change you today?
How does today, change tomorrow?
