Your Gift You came, my friend, through Darkness, bearing light. I did not know you, But I knew the voice Of Him who sent you, So I trusted you. You did not judge me, But called forth my best. You opened your heart That I, looking in, Might see Spirit's fruit, Sweet beyond sweetness. Gently, you taught me Love does not depend On sight, sound or touch. Your oil of caring Poured into my soul. I thanked God for you. |

KCS~ Oh, how lovely ... To be annointed in the oil of true friendship is such a joy. To give God thanks for the friend is something we should always do. Beautiful thoughts, my friend. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Thank you, Marge and Bonnie. God does send us true friends when we really need them, to speak His love for us. This one was a real blessing in my life. |

Kaile - Thanks. Your replies are sweet and thoughtful, as well. Friends are a special blessing, especially those who help us see light.Thank you, Pegasus. I prefer to think I am blessed, rather than lucky (although perhaps I am both ), for I cannot believe those wonderful people have come into my life by chance.To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

inot2B - That is precisely what this friend did for me, listening to my questions and helping me to find the answers, and as a bonus he became a good friend in his own right. Thanks. Wikket - Yes, wonderful gifts indeed, although I hope to post something this week that talks about another great gift I've received. Thank you for reading!

Marilyn; It is wonderful that you have the gift to see the beauty of a precious friendship and then to write a beautiful poem of such a gift. I too have been so blessed with good and true friends, so I will join you in thanksgiving for this most precious gift. Love, Ellie Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart.

Sounds like they are truest of friends Life has got to chnage, Nothing stays the same, Soon it will be time, For me to move on. |
