You touch lives so often
in only the way that you can do
through your tender thoughts
and showing of care,
a soothsayer of soul

a friend when in need
a soft spoken word
when my heart wants to bleed.

Quietly listening
while I try to catch my breath
you thrill me
and fill me
with your song

staying your distance
and watching
through good times
and bad

and I wonder sometimes
if you really know
how much you give
and how much
you make the world glow.

It's not just my life
that you have touched
but to so many,
you have given so much

through  gift of your soul
and the words that you give
when you share
the special person you are
lighting the dark
from afar.

I don't know
where your at this minute,
how near, or how far
but in my book
you shine brighter
than any star.

I wish you
peace and love
and thank you
for friendship so deep
and until we meet again

I will hold you closely
in friendships keep.

{dedicated, with gratitude...}



The greatest beauty on earth, is
found in the hearts of those
who love....

Yes Donna - you write your heart so well - and what a gift you give -

Hugs -  Susan

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

What words were spoken above me,
what words will follow below me,
all should be heeded by you,
dear friend...
this is a gift of your heart to all...
and should be returned to you,
with love...
