Precious Friend ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You were my friend When I was down You picked me up Washed away my frown. You were my friend When times were tough Made your home mine And if that weren't enough- You were my friend When my words hurt you Turned the other cheek Said, "Let's start anew." You were my friend When I'd lost my pride Helped me face my fears Would not let me hide. You were my friend When your own heart wept Set your sadness aside A smile for me you kept. You are my friend I pray you will always be For dear, precious soul You mean the world to me. Chris Barker ~~~~~~~~ With my heart still aching from our loss of dear Lyra-Madame Chipmunk, I chose to post this to-day, in honour of the gift of friendship. Thankyou. |

I don't believe Chipmunks ever know a stranger, most certainly, this grand lady never did... thank you, Chris...this is lovely... |

 (big hugggssssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, I believe every one of us is still hurting today and I cried so much of the night to be honest, but not jst in sadness but also because she is a very beautiful soul and I celebrate the love and kindness she offered us all, and to celebrate her love and willpower, I am starting a huge painting in her honor and for all other freedom fighters and environmentalists, with her love filling the painting! (wipes tears) Once I get the chance I will scan it up, it may take a while but I promise the first chance I get it will pop up, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Chris, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
