Strength of Heart < !signature-->I met her by accident This woman I love Her poetic words so inspired me Taking me to heights I thought impossible Then for the first time I heard her sweet voice A phone call in the night began our journey As we came to know one another so well Her strength and courage captured my heart She knows the dark paths that I have tread She walked them too And when she returned she possessed a spirit not of selfishness and anger but of love and peace I so admire her for the struggles she survived With unfailing grace and dignity intact Her uplifting spirit such a godsend to many is a treasure beyond price And I strive everyday to be what she is A survivor © 4/1/00 Gary Pence Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. -Edgar Allen Poe [This message has been edited by Jonas (edited 04-01-2000).] |

Sigh.....this is lovely. She is fortunate to be loved so.  Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W. Smith |

So wondrous she seems to be, The subject of your poetry So fortunate your loving friend To be the object of your pen So knowing is one who survives She changes everybody's lives For those who sands of life have seived Are the those we know have truly lived Wonderful poem Liz |

Jonas, wonderfully written. How lucky she is to be thought of so highly. Great work The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, not the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship." --Ralph Waldo Emerson |

A very beautiful tribute your love and respect shines through Mystical being which makes ink flow Surround me in your incandescent glow Fill my brain with thoughts and rhyme As I try to capture but a moment in time ~Shan~ |
