Echo you have touched me
Through the words you write.
I wish I could return it
With a hug to hold you tight.

To tell you that you're loved
And cared for by us here,
Within the walls of Passions
In our hearts we hold you dear!

I've seen the love you hold
For those you are around,
Compassion in your heart
A caring person we have found.

In my words I'll tell you
You're precious in God's sight.
I know He will reach down
And touch your heart each night.

God knows that you are special
And how much your life is worth,
For HE created an Angel
And placed YOU here on earth.

I pray that you will heal
And your broken heart will mend,
I pray you soon return to us
The ANGEL God did send!

Praying for you, and hoping you return to us soon!

Anyone who would like to add their name on to this is more than welcome to do so. You're welcome to add your own words, or wishes. Then we can print out one long posting for her. Or Jay Jay can!!!

Echo...can't wait to have you back with us. Your poems like your name reverberate with such caring and compassion. If ever you need a friend for anything just let me know. We all could use a little help from our friends once in awhile.

Sometimes I don’t know what to say
So I say nothing at all.
I stand idly by, feeling useless
Wiping away the tears that fall.

I’d like to reach out and hug you,
Pull you close to me.
Give you shelter in my arms,
Love you tenderly.

If there were something I could do
To take your pain away
I’d do it in a second,
If only there was a way.

I’d like to tell you it’d be all right
But it’s a promise I can’t give.
You have to find a reason to go on,
Your own will to live.

Just know that I care for you
You’ve touched me in my heart
This world would be a dimmer place
If you were not a part.

Work like you don't need the money, love like it's never going to hurt, dance like nobody's watching.

A life lived with poetry
is a life that should
always be

Echo of words that you combine
poetic beauty
flowing sublime

Heal your heart, body and soul
come together
your life whole


Please know that our love, support, prayers and thoughts are with you!

Sweet Echo - we haven't spent much time sharing, and I have just recently experienced your poetry - promise me you won't let death be your friend...he is not. He'll steal from you the one beautiful chance you have to live and love and be somebody - show him how strong you are by refusing to fall into his arms. He's very cunning when things get hard to cope with, and I myself have often wondered if eternal sleep would be better....but know that you have a purpose here, my dear...you have touched many souls with the words you write...a poet always has a purpose, a reason to live. Others can learn from your pain, and you can comfort them with your verse. Please heal quickly, and return to us - your family.

Softly whispered words in a lover's ear,
echo through the heart with a lack of guile.
Quiet embraces that wash away fear,
are rewarded by a child's trusting smile.
Fields of wildflowers in fullest bloom,
tease the eye with colors of every hue.
Giddy bride walks the aisle to her groom,
anticipating those two words, "I do."

Just a few things that helped me through despair a few times.

Dear Echo I know not what to say,
I know not the pain you feel or how to take that pain away.

I only hope you know how much you mean to us here,
I know that each and everyone hold you very dear.

Please come back to us soon.

I send you HUGS.

Echo: You are Special

You are so special
Not everyone is a poet
You fittingly belong here
Express what's in your heart

It may have seemed so dark
You thought there no way out
Reach out, let us touch you
As you have touched our heart

Rest and heal dear Echo
You've much yet to tell
With your poetic gifts
Painting scenes with words

You are in our prayers

There is a rift in Passions
That's easy to explain:
We've got a missing poet
By the name of Echo Rhayne;

She took some drastic measures
Cause she thought she was alone ...
Never guessed how much we loved her
Never knew how fond we've grown

Of her earnest, giving spirit
And her warrior-poet's heart;
How does one describe such fondness?
How can simple words impart

All the solace of a shoulder
Where a lonely heart might cry,
Or a smile that's freely given
Doesn't need a reason why --

Dear Echo, in our hearts and prayers
Right by your side we'll be --
With love and understanding, from
Your poet family.

Come back soon ... trust in God and this, too, shall pass ...

I guess in some small way we have all thought that life would be better off without us. But we would not be better off without life or the chance to experience all the love that life has to offer. Echo, in Passions, you will find more love than you can stand. Come back to us and feel that love. You have friends here who will love you. God bless you and keep you strong!

Echo,

I got the message of your pain,
I pray the Lord...today will be
the beginning of your gain.

I'll share with you a secret of mine,
this is just for you in this moment-
I too, once had a tragedy with time.

I don't know what pain you feel,
I just know that loss
of some sort...and that is real.

So keep these words in your heart,
take them out as you please...
we are here for you in your new start.

"May the grace of God be with you."

------------------
