She notices the little things She celebrates your joy She has a golden poet's pen Whose verses we enjoy She has a very caring heart For those who have been used And feels compelled to speak aloud For those who are abused She's passionate and loving As anyone can see Her longing for her one true love Is in her poetry She's master of the written word Of meter and of rhyme And when she writes in free verse She's master of all time Her name is Ruth, we call her Hoot She's wiser than an owl Her poetry's quite perfect Down to every little vowel We all revere her talents So far beyond our grasp She always gives to others Very little does she ask But now our little hoot owl Is asking for a prayer A simple little gesture From those of us who care She asks not much, she wants not much It's just a humble plea Our Hoot Owl is in trouble And she asks, "Please pray for me" For all she's done for others For all she's done for me I've felt the worry in her voice I answer now her plea Dear Lord above, I humbly pray You bless our poet friend And give her strenth and courage And upon her soul descend Blanket her with thy dear love Protect her from all harm Whatever waits around the bend Keep her safe and warm Shine a light upon her face Heal her every sore Fill her heart with heavenly grace And love forever more I ask, dear heavenly Father Answer please my prayer That she will feel the endless love Of those of us who care Encircle Ruth with all our prayers Encircle her with love For she's more than just a poet friend She's a little mourning dove Hope all goes well with your tests, Ruth Liz [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 02-18-2000).] |

Great poem Liz..I hope everything turns out ok for Ruth too...Ruth, You are in my prayers!  "For every beauty, there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth, there is an ear somewhere to hear it For every love, there is a heart somewhere to receive it".--Ivan Panin |

Liz...you have me crying with this one. Thank you so much my friend. This is beautiful. I have done much thinking about this today and have decided even if the news is the worst thing I can imagine, that there is some reason for it, that God has some purpose behind it. I thank you for this wonderful poem and for you and everyone else's thoughts and prayers. I will let everyone know the test results as soon as I do. (For those who aren't aware of what is going on, please check out Announcements and Links) Thank you and hugs Ruth |

This is a beautifully written about a person I hardly know, but have come to respect for both her writing talent and kindness to those who write here. A wonderful prayer with an "Amen" from me. Danny |

Just in case you need a heart Ruth you can have mine Liz A master piece for A tiny owl May her wings always swipe our souls and hearts as your words will ring within Thank you so so much dear I did do cry a tear (more like a bucket) Not to forget others, you are all within my AMBER couloured PRAYERS. < !signature--> The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.
