 Together by Linda L. Dowd I extend my hand to you in loving friendship, ~ honoring your divine purpose and the uniqueness of you. Whenever you need me, simply ask, I will be there, by your side, to aid and comfort you, and to enjoy our times ~ together. I embrace who you are and pass no judgments. We are friends of the road and our journey through life will be a circuitous one, but one that will hopefully take us far into the future ~together, Sharing, caring, laughing, playing, loving, and yes, at times, crying. Let's join hands, dear friend, and walk joyfully down this garden path ~ together. ~ |

Yo Linda, This is well done. This brought to mind an old saying from one of my friends Dad. "Sinner repent--will you prance down that primrose path to the eternal fires?" He used to shout that as we walked him home from the bar on Friday night. Beware of primrose paths. Bobby |

Bobby ~ I may have stumbled on a few stones strewn across my primrose path. Fortunately, none of them happened to be brimstones! EA |

Linda, Together! I love that thought. Together forever never walking alone all the love that you've given all the love that you've shown all the beautiful children and my how they've grown together forever I love you so. You were there in my mornings you were there in my nights when I was lost in the darkness you were my light you held me close so I held you tight Together forever you are my life! Have a nice day and I loved your poem, very fine! Joe |

Joe ~ ~ and I loved your "together" poem, as well! I think that it is grand that you have had a woman in your life that has given you so much ~ and I would wager from your loving words, that she has received likewise from you! Smiling here! Linda |

Lovely poem, Linda. From what I know of you, you need not worry about brimstone. I don't think that sort of thing has a place in our reality. Ida |

Linda, You so often soothe me with your poetry. Your writing reflects the love that you have inside you - and you share that love so generously. You are beautiful, and your poetry is the frame to that beauty of 'you'. I love you, darlin'. I really do. Alison |

Hi, Lindsay! When a fellow pipster sent the photo with my face pasted on it, I was reminded of the old "I Love Lucy" television show where Lucy was doing a commercial for "Vita-Meata-Vegamin" and I thought it would be a fun pic to post! Glad you like it!Love to you, my Aussie friend! Linda  |

simon ~ Oh, I adore that song "Walk On with hope in your heart and you'll never walk alone"... Your morning's quote brought a smile to my soul! Friendship hug, Linda P.S. "Is that a bottle that you are holding or an otter?" ~ I love your wry sense of humour! Actually I don't know! lol A fellow pipster pasted my face and bangs on the pic and sent it to me along with several other comical poses and I thought it would be fun to post it. I might put one of the other ones in later.  |

I always say that if you have even one true friend in this world, than you are a very fortunate person. Linda, I have the feeling that you have more true friends than you'll ever even know. A beautiful poem, from a beautiful spirit. Freedom of expression is our, write. |
