On A Journey To The Unknown

You, My Friend
~ By Sue ~

I am sorry, if I upset you
It truly wasn’t my intention
I write about, how I feel
Sometimes, I write about
What I might see
I’m not much on make believe
If I were, I could conjure up
Some fantastic fantasy
All I know is reality
I have known a lot of pain
All through my life
I have felt tremendous fear
When I was very young
I have envied those
Who looked so happy
Couldn’t understand
How they could have
Such a gleam in their eyes
I get my strength from friends
Without them I wouldn’t be
Where I am today
I stay away from those
Who bring me down
You, my friend are the one
Who has always given me
The hope I have inside
Always encouraging me
To keep on trying
I thank you
For all you’ve done
And still do

OhSweetSue~
You are friend to many here~
One of the things I most admire about you is that you tell it like it is ... not how one might wish it to be~
That's a wonderful writing trait to possess~

Another admiration I have for you is your way of finding strength through the storms of life~
You go girlie~

Love you, my friend~

let me know when it is LOVE that I find*~ <))><

What a lovely poem Sue.
A good friend is such a blessing.

There are those
who sit, and pose,
and write a fancy
'neath a tree...
and there are those,
who would dispose
of every so called
imagined reality...

what it is,
to learn so well,
truth from all
the fiction...
is to imagine
such a place
that there'd be
no hellish friction...

Oh Sue!

I love it
when you step outside yourself!
You give so much...

and you remind us all
that individualism counts
in so many ways!!!

Sue...to have such a friend means you are a friend to them in return...

You are deserving of happiness and I believe you will see it and feel it and know it.

sometimes it takes a  bit longer for some of us to "know" happiness again.

Friends, my dear, are something that you will never be short of!

Keep working toward your dreams and the gleam will be radiating from your eyes as well!

Whatever is worth having, is worth working for! Go forth undaunted ~ 'cause you're a smart chick!

Please don't doubt yourself. You are being given this opportunity for a reason!

Love & Light,
Linda

My spirit will rise
above the sea~
There will be no drowning
of my soul or me~
