Gathering of Friends
By Paul Wilson


Come ye of all ages
Prepare your heart
To read these pages
Where all emotions start

Here to spread our poetic wings
We all do journey this road
To search life and what it brings
A place with no area code

To share our gift of words
The feelings in our heart
We learn to fly like birds
Sharing our poetic art

Friends that seldom meet
A family yes we are
Relationships set in concrete
All brought together from near and far

These pages of blue
The tie that does bind
The place where me and you
Share thoughts of our mind

Paul,
  We do have friends here, in fact they're family. Don't you love being here, sharing our thoughts with people that makes us all feel loved?
Good reading and writing...NO arithmetic !

Paul,
I really love this. I've only been a member here for a few weeks, but I can honestly say I love each and every one of the beautiful people in it. See my "Friendship Tree" poem(it's floating around in the archives somewhere) and you'll know that I too, feel as you do. This is a wonderful place of sharing,careing, and poetry. Thanks for your beautiful words.
Peace,love,light and happiness
Tammy
