Please understand my funny friend
I know that you are feeling down
You feel your world is at an end
And you can only wear a frown

You feel the world has been unfair
And perhaps, it has to you
But you survive and that's rare
You rise up to begin anew

You cry alone but in a crowd
You wear the face that smiles a lot
Your laugh too coarse, your voice too loud
You hide inside like one forgot

No punishment that they could mete
Would ever be enough for you
You show the world you're pure and sweet
And seal away the heart in blue

You think that you are victim there
No one cares or understands
Your bitter heart is in despair
All you can do is make demands

And yet there's hope for while you live
Your dreams can find a path for you
My funny friend you give and give
And I return the gift of you

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

A good tribute
and it really doesn't matter
who for...
when it's for all...
good for you, my Keth!

Keth beloved singer of my hearts song and sister to my soul, always your writing flows over my soul like honeyed wine. Never do you fail to enchant and bewitch me with your wondrous words. Do I love this you knew I would? YOUR writing is always enough to warm and grace the soul of whoever reads it, and you know I always do.

Always your words wrap a soul in light and warmth, and in this case you’ve written a beautiful hug. You know of course I love it utterly utterly, and you too. Superb writing, exquisite language usage and the flow is absolutely perfect

Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

     

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh

(big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, I too feel this can be for anyone in particular, and that is why I always love your wonderful words so much, because they say so much so many can relate to! (kiss on cheek) I too have prayers going out to the one who this is for most of all, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kethry, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
