When I am lost
and life is in disarray

When I can’t find
simple words that will say

When my heart
is heavy from the pain

Of a stormy day
of thunder and hard rain

When I need to feel
the comfort of your arm

When life is tearing
and hornets seem to swarm

When I fell down
and cracked my fragile shell

You were there
to listen, understand
and help me

When I fell

God this hits home.  
It is so nice if we have someone to pick us up when we fall.
I needed this today Magnus, thank you.

Enjoy life, this is NOT a dress rehearsal.

GS...

You are very welcome...

I know too well the pain of feeling lost
in a moment.  

I also know the warmth of a hug,  a word
of kindness...

I give and accept hugs without reservation.

Hugs to you this day...

Magnus,
sometimes we fall so many times we need a trampoline beneath us, it's nice when we have someone who can do that for us.

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

God always picks us up when we fall
for he provides angels to us all...

Kethry...

Most important is that we all fall at one
time or another...Learning how to stand on
our own that we may one day support is the
priceless gift we can give to those who have
helped us when we have fallen...

Magnus darling heart this is absolutely beautiful your writing content and style consistently superb and this is as always absolutely perfect.
You r writing always brings me the feeling that my soul has been washed by your wondrous words of beauty.

How beautiful the words in this are, the flow is as smooth as silk, the phrasing perfect, and the timing is absolutely spot on. Without a doubt you are the best at capturing a thought in a net of wonder. Again you paint a picture with your words and it is simply exquisite, always you shine like the star you are

Life is sometimes a disappointment, but I’m never disappointed when I read one of your bright and shining jewels of wordy wonder.

For lifting my spirits when they are down
For giving me a smile when I want to frown
For taking my hand when I need a friend
For being there always until the end
For showing me the way when I am lost
For taking the time never counting cost
For all this and more I say thank you
For being a friend who sees me through

Marsha


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

It is so good when there is someone... to lean on when things are difficult... I "felt" the words... the emotions...

(big hugggssssssss) They say only you alone can make yourself happy, yet I feel that it is very special to have that special somebody who keeps your chin up when you feel down and makes you feel loved! (sigh) This is a dream I wish for so very much too, sweet friend, this is compassionately wonderful, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

a great sin it might be
to neglect a saying
of thanks to friends
as only a true companion
may heal the pain
that shows not on the outside

(great work, Magnus!  a loving caring write, ami!)
