i never thought this day would come
the day that i would be leaving this place
i feel like i know each of you personally
though we've never met face to face

within these walls
i've learned so much about life and me
now the time has come for me to fly
to set my captured wings free

a part of me will
always be with all of you
i'll take you wherever i go
whatever i do

i could never express
the lesson's ive learned upon these pages of blue
to simply say thank you
just doesn't seem to do

every one of you is special
in your own and unique way
the day i found passions
was the day God started to show me my way

i am sorry that i must leave
this is how it must be though you see
even though we won't share our poetry anymore
a part of you i will always carry with me

***i don't know quite what to say in this
post--but just to leave without saying bye
didn't seem fair or right. there are SO many
people here that I have come to love and care
about so much...some of you like family, some
like dear friends...words could never express
the sincere gratitude, appreciation, or thanks
i feel deep within my heart. ALL of you have
a very special and amazing gift. Each of you
is wonderful in your own unique way and I am
a better person for having known you. God bless
you all. Do not worry about me--I am fine. I just
need to do this for me. When I write--i write it
all...whatever I feel..the good and the bad.
Lately my writing has been too painful, a little
to true...it's sent me into a mode of thinking
about where i am and where i want to be in life.
this may not make a whole lot of sense to any of
you out there...and may make perfect sense to
others...there are four thank yous that i must
say here...but that doesnt mean i dont love you
all...

to janet marie-
you lady are so very special! you have always
supported and understood me...loved me like
a daughter. you have no idea of the wonderful
and very beautiful person you are. i love you!

to kris-
hello best friend of mine. you and i have
grown close in the last few months...you
have taught me so much in such a short time.
you have an amazing gift and an even more
amazing heart.

holly-
over the situation of shane...i realized
the beauty of your spirit. you and i touched
i believe that day in a spiritual way. you
are a lovely person and everytime i read
something by you its like looking into your
soul. please take care of yourself and God
Bless.

and certainly not least...

Maree-
thank you for your wonderful friendship--
the many talks and laughs. you are such
a remarkable person--you just don't know it.
you have a beautiful soul that the light
just shines out of. my friend, i hope that
life gives you everything you could ever
want or desire. take care of yourself...

all my love.
amy

There'll alway be a spot here for you to return to! Hope everything works out OK

Amy-girl ...
you already know I feel the same way back about you...and you have taught me so much about courage and being true to ones self ...
It has been a beautiful thing to watch you grow poetically but more so to watch you find your own wings and spirit ...
I know youre at crossroads now and this and other decisions your making now are yet another step in that growth...
and while I know some of the decisions are painful and hard...
you once again show courage and strength to make them and then see them thru.
You have to do whats right for you now ...
and I know this will be best for you in the long run ...
Go out and play in the sunshine sweets...
its time ...
thank you for the sunshine you shared with me
love ya girlie
Jan

A fond farewell,
though we move across different oceans we are uplifted by the same gentle breeze.
take care and may the breeze blow you back here soon.

Be well gentle poet,

Well, Aims...you know what is best for you, as much as we don't want you to go...just so long as you keep in mind that we're always here to fall back on, should you need to.
But, I'm hoping you already knew that...and, of course, I'll always be here, which goes without saying, of COURSE. Well, girlie...very thoughtful post, and I'll talk to ya soon!!

do I believe we'd be better off apart?
can I see my world without you in it?
baby, not for a single minute...

Oh Amy-girl...Angel Winged hugs to you
sweetie, You do what you need to do then you
fly on back real soon!! You know how
special you've become to me, your words
during the ordeal with Shane brought me so
much hope and strength...sharing your mom
with me was a gift that can't be touched by
anyone...and I know she was there...Shane is
doing Excellent...he has a new chance at
life and I believe that the prayers that
were offered here and the spirit of your mom
all helped to make that possible. Hugs to
you sweetheart...take care of you and drop a
line now and then so that I don't
worry...it's the "mom" in me I guess

Love and hugs...and of course a butterfly kiss~

Amy:

As you can tell ALL of us are sad to see such a great friend, poet, and person leave. You do know what is best for you though, and in time I hope you can come back. We will miss you, hope you know I'm always her if you need to talk. I love you sis. You've become a popular person her at Passions, and I thank you for sharing this special place with me. There are so many talented poets here, and it helps to see that other people can relate to what your going through. May God bless you, I know I'm blessed every day to have a wonderful sis like you. Not writing this to make you cry, all of what I've wrote is just the simple truth. Nice poem about your memories here and the people who are a part of it. Take care.

Thank you ALL for your wonderful replies.
It's been a wonderful stay here and I
thank God each and everyday for bringing
you all into my life. But as the saying
goes one door closes...another opens.
This door is closing as I continue along
this journey called life.I have learned so much since entering this"haven" last February. I have learned lotsabout myself, life, friendship, and love.I wouldn't change anything that has happened and am so thankful to have been touched and blessed by all of you. Everyone please take care of yourselves-- and never stop writing. We ALL are true
poets!
Till we meet again.

Love.
Amy

Amy darling girl, as always you have written this so beautifully. Wherever you go whatever you do, you will always be a part of me. You fly free love, fly high and know that you have given far more to Passions than just your lovely writing. You have revealed your true heart, shown your shining light and enriched all who have read you.
Wonderful beautiful writing dear heart, absolutely perfect.
Remember my lil sister that family is always bound together.
Love you darling girl, take care as always
