This year past had it's ups and down
With things occuring,  some smiles,  some frowns
This is just life,  as we all know
If things didn't happen,  we might never grow

One day this year,  as searching for poetry
I came across something that's really helped me
I found a place,  where feelings,  poets release
A "home" called Passions,  where many find Peace

Whatever emotions I feel each day
When I write here,  many know what to say
They give encouragement,  when I feel down
Trying to help my feelings,  to take away the frown
Or when I'm happy and filled with glee
All of you are here to laugh with me
Sometimes we let our inner child show
In my mind's eye,  I see your faces aglow

When each new one comes to our pages of blue
Kind words are said,  like "We welcome you"
I'm thankful for you all,  my sweet "Family of Friends"
The help and encouragement all of you give,  never ends

I'm glad to be a part of all of you
To return love and friendship,  I try to do
Wanting to encourage the sad and broken heart
To lend a helping hand,  I want to do my part
And when someone is rejoicing about something good
I'll be right here smiling,  too,  as good friends should

I thank you one and all,  here at PIP
For many years to come,  all of you I hope to see

HAPPY  NEW  YEAR  TO  YOU  ALL

I've been around passions on and off for about 3 years now (i had another screen name of course).  I never really stayed active with it though and haven't made friends with anyone so far..i hope maybe this time i will make at least one or two
And thank you, by the way, for the congratulations

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Ethel, New Years Eve always brings me tears because I hold the Jiminy Cricket song from Pinocchio close to my heart, believing my dreams can come true when I stand alone on the balcony into the navy blue night sky and see the brightest star and hope real soon I can finally hold Joanna and my world can finally bloom in full color! (sigh) I wish true happiness for you and Gary in 2003 and forever on, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I am brand spanking new and this poem expresses everything I already feel about this wonderful place I found.

You're right on the money about the welcome that's for sure!

I look forward to sharing my joys and my sorrows here.

Thanks for confirming my initial impressions!

Thank you, Venus.....
Yes, your initial impressions were very accurate. This is
a wonderful place to discover. If you are friendly and out-going
here, everyone is friendly right back to you. There are a whole
lot of sweet, kind-hearted, and compassionate people
here at PIP. You sound like you'll fit right in with this big
"family of friends".
Now, I'm going to go find your post so I can welcome you properly....
