Somewhere... out there...

0 posted 2000-11-07 02:35 PM




i have a friend
who's always near
though far away
for me she's here
i hope she knows
to me she's dear

'earth angel'

when life is cruel
and tears must fall
with gentle wings
she dries them all
she always hears
me when i call

'earth angel'

and when life's path
leads me astray
she gently guides
me on my way
she walks beside
me day by day

'earth angel'

when my heart's song
does cease to be
she softly sings
hope's tune to me
her words can set
my spirit free

'earth angel'

and when at night
i close my eyes
i know she'll be
there when i rise
a friend for life
i realize

'earth angel'

i thank God for
the gift of you
in all you say
and all you do
you're more than just
my friend...you're my

'earth angel'





love ya, dg

Wonderful tribute to your more than friend..It made me think of how much I truly do appreciate the special ones that care enough to be there when we are falling, and prop us up sometimes.
I think I am getting the sleepy babbles, so will stop at that, It was a very special poem.

Hi, Vicky.  This makes looking in at open worthwhile.    You and dg are lucky to have each other.  This is lovely, as usual.

Vicky, the best thing we can have is to find a friend who will be beside you when you're beside yourself. Apparently you have....that's wonderful

Ain't it great? smile....

You said it perfectly.

Love to you, vicky. And I think, that sometimes the dark is just so that we'll feel a hand, grasping for ours in the blindness...hugs.
