Have Your Dues Been Paid ? ~Marge Tindal~ 1999  The friendship circle grows with each new friend you bring into the circle joining others, with joy our hearts do sing. God did not draw the circle with boundaries to keep others at bay. He drew it round so it could grow as others came to stay. We are all free to have friends of our making. Friendship is give and take and free for the taking. And yet it is not free for we have a heart to share. We must pay our dues to friendship everywhere. The dues of friendship are simple. Trust, faith and loyalty. Do unto others is the code, for friendship, you see. Have you paid your dues? You'll know that this is true, when the love you give to others comes abundantly back to you. ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Passions dues I've paid And then some In friendship I have Done my best I give my heart to all who take it Never wanting in return Friendship has no price, no limit Useless are the friends you buy Life is always, ever changing, but friendship Lasts when all else fades away |

You give so freely Marge. Your open arms extend to see beyond the word and read between the lines. You listen with compassion and give without reserve. Thanks! In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. (ee cummings) |

Is it that time already? Can this now be true? If I'm paying for his stoopid Moose Will you count the rest paid too? (Elmer , and Ad , and M. were a little short this week ).Nice poem Marge ! |
