We have laughed heartily as tears fell freely,
as time carried their echo into those hours
of wee and dark.

We have sighed repeatedly, inhaling
a deep breath to bring back the soul
from some distant cavern of time,  
where friends often discover they are
never alone.

We have pained and pondered, wished
and wandered endlessly.  Hoping that
a day might come where a smile is seen,
felt and wrapped in a silk scarf for
another day, perhaps when rains fall.

We have held out a warm hand,  
wishing simply to let fingertips
touch ever lightly as a spark of
compassion and caring courses
into our hearts.

Thank you for the touch of your
smile, the tremor of your voice,
the gift of your mind and all
that you have shared and given
freely as only a friend can and
will.....

I wish not to ever have it any
other way....do you?

I feel exactly the same way, my friend ~ and thank you!

Oh, oh! Those weren't MY wing tips you were touching! Oh, well. Next lifetime!

Lovely thoughts and sentiments. To have a friend, one must be a friend ~ and anyone would be blessed to have you as one of theirs!

Barry - such loving sentiments whole heartedly agreed with - worded in that beautiful style of Sir -

Hugs you - Susan

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
