Gift Of Pen~

~*Marge Tindal*~

It is a blessing to me
the ink within my well
A special gift of thoughts
that swiftly begin to tell
of places I have been
or merely hope to go
Of friends I've met
and have yet to meet
along life's wandering road
A carousel of wishing well
to throw my pennies in
Hoping they will land 'heads up'
in the heart of a friend
A star to light the night
in glow of soft sweet smile
Bringing more than wishes
when lit in the eyes of child
A word to lift a heart
when that's all it takes
A hand held out in friendship
offering a friendly shake
I've traveled this world over
been most everywhere
home has always been
the place that is most dear
So upon this birth-of-day
I just want to say once more
the friendships here at Passions'home
are more than I could hope for~

Marge, my sweetest friend-
   It is I who is blessed by your 'Gift of Pen'.
   The ink flows freely...straight from the
   well of your heart to mine.
   And...EVERY 'penny' YOU toss lands
   'heads up' on MY heart.
   Thank you so much for the gift of YOU,
   and for the gift of your heart in friendship.
   Happy Birthday, buddy of mine.
   I LOVE YOU~
   Hugs,
   ~Vicky


"...until you have read the verse on his heart,
you have not truly met the poet.

Your gift of pen is very smart
It did put friendship in my heart
I won't recognize you in the street
But your written words I do indeed
Your sweet charm at Passions here
I hold it tight and I hold it dear

Marge,
You are the blessing that we here at Passions, so enjoy. I don't get to spend as much time here as I would like, but when I do, I have to search for your poems first.
I always know there will be beauty and joy in reading them, for you have that special gift of pen. Thank you for sharing.

Hugs,
Deb
