Thank you for the kind words my friend
I know you'll be there till the end
Trying to mend my wounded soul
With a love that could make me whole

You have truly touched my heart
With compassion that's off the chart
The words you wrote for me
Give me the strength and help me see

I am not facing this alone
A ray of sunlight has been shone
On my wounded broken spirit
Your heart is right here near it

You have dried the many tears
Helped me chase away the fears
My best friend is the one
That'll be there when all is said and done

Thank you for your precious love
Sent to me from heaven above
To help my wounds to heal
So I may find a love that's real

I am there by your side
No need for me to run and hide
You are my inspiration
Encouraging my imagination

Your love will fill the hole
Taking me to my goal
To find happiness again
I can do it with you my friend

Drop down on my knees to pray
Thanking God for you showing me the way
Out of the forest of darkness I was in
Granting me forgiveness for my sins

You led me gently by the hand
Giving me the courage to stand
And face the upcoming trial
Knowing you'll be there through every mile

Your shoulder is there for support
Sturdy as the biggest fort
You will be my rock
Love holds the key to the lock

You knew all along
Sang for me your sweet song
Thank you for being there
WIth a friendship that is rare

Know that we will always be
There for each other can you see
We share a special kind of tie
Endless as the bluest sky

      ******Response to a friend******

Beautiful and extraordinary thoughts, buddy.

Thoroughly enjoyed reading,

sudhir.

 Take each day as it comes,
Consider each day as a flight,
Try hard to succeed and fly,
Surely then you will reach some height.

But if by some chance you don’t,
Remember that tomorrow will always come.
Learn this well and learn this hard
That today’s efforts will pay for tomorrow’s fun.

Thank you, my friend.  Yes, I am very lucky to have such a person in my life at this time.  It is very rare to find such a treasure.  I am more fortunate than most because I have more than one such friend.  All are very special people.  Your heart is beautiful too....

this is PERFECT..wow, your friend
inspired you immensely...
this is a heartfelt tribute...
wonderful words here.
take care, jm


 Is it too much to find an answer,
Is it too much to hold you close.
Is it too much to find a reason,
Is it too much to free my soul --
From self control ...
And I know you're always waiting for me ...
You take me far away,
And I know you're holding me ...
And it's better now ...

Lone Wolf - this is gorgeous, my friend!  It always warms my heart to see you posting positive, upbeat poetry - although, having been where you are, I certainly understand the sad ones as well!  You keep writing, girl - I like the happy and the sad ones, and they are all part of the process you are going through.  In the meantime, this beautiful poem deserves another shot at page one - so BUMP!
