No Way !
~Marge Tindal~ 1999

There's no river so wide
I can't reach you.
No mountain so high
I can't climb.
No valley too deep,
no cliff so steep,
that I can't find my way to you.

I'd find a way to get to you,
even if I had to crawl.
I'd lay down my life
to make it to you,
even if the chances were small.

No way on this earth,
could I ever escape
the need of reaching you.
No way could I see
how it wouldn't be
the easiest thing I'd do.

No river,
no mountain,
no valley,
no way ...
but your way.
I'll be there.

First_Knight - Thank you for the compliment.
This heart wends it's way to any who would have need.  
It's not difficult to feel strong with people when you care about them.
Glad you liked it.

Oh, Denise -
That's such a sweet thought.
Lovely of you to say.
It's a friend that you are
and 'tis I, the fortunate one.

Oh, Marge! There's naught I wouldn't do
To get my little self close to you
I mean, I'd cross the Serengetti,
Climb Everest and fight with Yeti,
Go from here to Timbuktu
If it would get me close to you.

I'd traverse rain forests in Brazil
Endure the cold Alaskan chill
I'd swim down to the lost Atlantis,
Eat insects like a praying mantis
Climb Himalayas for the view
If it would get me close to you.

I'd brave erupting Krakatoa
Sail 40 days with mister Noah
Hike Africa's jungles for a lark
And walk Miami after dark!
No thing would I refuse to do
If it would get me close to you.

So what I'm trying to explain...
I'll be over tomorrow (if it doesn't rain).

Beautiful Marge!  

if I had to run
if I had to crawl
if I had to swim a hundred rivers
just to climb a thousand walls
always know that I would find a way
to get to where you are
theres no place that far
(Sara Evans)

Your poem reminded me of that song.  Whoever is lucky enough to have someone such as yourself go out of their way to help them/get to them etc. is lucky indeed!

Why, Balladeer -

For you I think
I'd draw a map,
if I could just get
to sit in your lap.

No need to travel
the Serengetti,
when we could go
to Italy and dine
on spaghetti.

To the heights of Everest
would be no small hike.
I hear that Yeti is
quite a fright !

I'd never ask
that you do
Noah's ark ...
perhaps a canoe?

Praying mantis?
Not for my man ...
Vienna sausage
right out of the can!

I'd feed them to you
one by one ...
and then when
you're finally done,
we'd head on over
to Miami's finest hotel ...
and the rest
Shhhh!  I'll never tell.


*I checked the weather forecast ...
not a cloud in sight. ~Me~

Hoot - Oh, excuse me ... I'm back.
Yeah ... no time, space or bounds !
Great thoughts.

Suthern - You liked?  Thanks.

Echo - Thanks.  I think I remember that one too.  I would do anything to reach that one who needed reaching.
