You are a gift.

Unexpected, undeserved
Unrestrained joy
Renewed each day
A presence in my life
More exciting
Than Christmases
With generous Santa

You are refuge.

Shelter from a world
That's often unkind
You offer acceptance
Without hesitation
And hold me secure
Sharing a warmth
That melts my heart.

You are comfort.

You are poets.

You are treasured.

Thank you so much for the past six years.

Ruthie babe,
How can time fly so fast? Oh, that's right we're having fun! Especially with you here. Thanks for all you are, you do and you write. Peace.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

After being absent for so long (nearly a year) I didn't know if I would still qualify as a Pipster. Yet in my homecoming, I found open arms.  And isn't that what it is all about here at Passions.

Congrats to you on your sixth year.

Love,
Pat

They are, aren't they?

-- and you particularly so, among all of us. You're part of the spirit of this place, and I'm glad to see you pass a milestone like this. I wonder if I'll last six years....or another six months, to make it three....I hope so, but sometimes I do wonder.

My goodness! Six years! I'm near worn out after just nigh on three! lol

Yeppers! You've got the majority of pipsters pegged (and penned!), perfectly! ~ and don't forget, you are one of those pipsters to us as well! Thank you for all your caring and sharing!

To have friends, one must be a friend!

Congratulations on your 6th anniversary here at Pip! You are an integral part of our poetic family!

Congrats Ruth, here's to the next 6 years and then some....

In your light I learn how to love
In your beauty how to make poems
You dance inside my chest where
no one sees you and that sight becomes this art
