Prayer
[tribute to Janet Marie]

give me just one line…one that presents a rhyme
then give me in time…one that would be mine
one that lives to give...one that gives to live
one that is just like me…one that is me in thee

why do I ask that ye may give…when I know to live is to live
yet ye create the ask of me…that I may then ask of thee
for is a prayer not a request…do ye not give then the best
Sir, I ask of thee…grant thy prayer…so we see

Janet Marie…should you see…this is in part of thee

this is not a way I talk….but it speaks most handsomely
of a gift of art, a way it be….that one can speak, tenderly
it is arduous, know it so…that this would be, the way I go
but there is reason,…. as there is season

for Janet Marie, … a camaraderie

I am sorry, my dear….this is not very clear
you speak elegantly….in what would regale all of we
and this is tribute….to what you can do
just know that I fail….in all that you do

but I so admire the art of you
Janet Marie

from a friend of yours
still unsure
but an always…
I be

lovingly yours,
a friend of thee

If I whisper, will you listen?...
I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.

=======================

Karillea,
did you just know how much this would mean today?
I am humbled beyond words, to tears right now,
this is such a beautiful poem and gesture.
You truly are Sunshine on this morn and I thank you very very much for this touching, tribute and gift ...
and let me not seem ungrateful when I say ...
I must protest the line in the poem where you say "you fail" ...
trust me poetess, mentor and friend to many...
you live up to your name of Sun daily in here.
thank you so very much for this ..
and know it will be treasured ...
as gifts of poetry are my most cherished poessesions.
TY

I've read tributes here - but none to surpass this - and I agree with JM - you do NOT fail!
and I believe it is equally true - that you, Janet, myself and God knows how many others - could truly express such words to each other here, could sincerely write such words to us, or others who post here - so I will add my appreciation to Ron for providing this forum.

This is a beauty of a tribute for JM...
Once again your talent of poetic verse written from your heart shines eloquently and ALWAYS warms our hearts...

You both are jewels and all I can add is thank goodness we have you both in our presence each day...

pay me no mind.... Im back to put this in me library ... must have forgot to check the box the first time I was here ...
must have been the Sunshine in my eyes  

Tomorrow holds only mystery
And who's to say what might be
But in you I've found a love so strong
The sun and the moon look on in jealousy

What can I say? It's beautiful and you have captured some of her style in the stanzas and the words but the most important thing is that you've paid tribute to your own fine heart by paying tribute to hers. Janet is a wonderful inspiration to so many of us andI for one have always appreciated her excellent poetry and friendship since the very day I arrived here....this is so good Karilea!
