Helmut...thank you for being such a dear friend, you have always been and still remain a great source of strength and inspiration. Hugs and Love always Ruth His Masterpiece (For You Helmut) "A piece of art," he says; perhaps God's unfinished masterpiece left to sit another day until he is inspired to once more create tranquillity from this chaos that is my life. "A work of art," he tells me; and yet I sit unfinished, untouched, unnoticed waiting to be complete. "A WONDER!," he shouts; and I gaze into his eyes trying to see myself from his point of view still unable to see what makes him think this of me. "A masterpiece," he whispers and I look into his heart and for the first time see my worth. Have you ever noticed That the words... "Goodbye" "I'm sorry" "I love you" Are so easy to pronounce ...Yet so hard to say ~Javan |

Ok I read and read again I smile and smile again Speechless yes it's what I am Thinking, blushing this is for me Why does she thinks so highly here of me I'm only one with a big heart The one that saw her lovely Art Ruth, Thank you first...before I say I wouldn't want you any other way Remember what I send to you A long, long time ago too Part of Desiderata You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Thank you Ruth for your thoughts and feelings towards me. You have also be an inspiration and a support to me. For that I thank you. A candle is burning here in my heart for you. Hugs and Love, always Helmut To all of you that have replied Thank you for your kind words. Love you all so deeply and now I gotta run for the Kleenex box. The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

Now to the poem itself You seem to out do yourself every time you write a piece. This is written as I would have said it Beautiful,...is just not touching it. The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |
