If should come a time
you feel the need
I'm right here,
call on  me.

Advice? I've truly none to give
I can only share the things
that I have lived;

and how all things in time
we come to see
are exactly as
they should be.

I'll share my tales,
the highs and lows
I'll hold your hand
while you shed your woes.

We will sit in the sun
while enjoying our day,
Don't worry about
having nothing to say

that won't cause you
to shed a tear;
you see my friend
that's why I'm here

to simply listen
and not criticize.

We shall wipe the tears
from your eyes
so that you
can see the truth

there is beauty
found in you


and he can never
take that away
you don't need him
to face another day.

If should come a time
  you feel the need
    I'm right here,
         call on  me.




No more hangin' on to the past
No more filling up my tomorrows
With yesterday's sorrows
No more lookin' over my shoulder {T.Tritt}

This is lovely. Good work. It is always nice to aid in friendship and to know that someone will always be there to cry, laugh, and get angry with.

I'd say you're getting wise in your old age, but you refuse to age.

I can not think of a finer group of
people to call friends.

You honor me, each, with your kindness and I am so thankful for the kindred spirits that I have been blessed to come to know here at Pips.

And Sunshiney lady, I may get older but I refuse to
allow myself to grow old.  I am still amazed at times that I have already passed forty-five. Gads, I can remember thinking 45 was OLD!!

Love and peace to all,
~D~

Donna Dearest, I am giving you one humongous hug and pat on the back. ~ Not only for this exquisite piece of soul poetry ~ but for the woman that you are! You are lovely in every sense of the word! ~ and your new pic is a testament to that fact, as well!

This is most assuredly, a

I am particularly fond of:

“Advice? I've truly none to give
I can only share the things
that I have lived…”

and:

“you see my friend
that's why I'm here

to simply listen
and not criticize.”

Applause!
