I love to talk of sweet Toerag (And that's not gonna change *G*) But this is for another friend So please don't find this strange. She slipped into my life somehow. I can't pinpoint the day I realized she was special But she's in my heart to stay. Her cheerful disposition Is every poet's gain. You'd never guess how very well She's acquainted with pain. Our Official Passions Reader Has become my dear friend My respect and admiration To this lady I do send. Our own lovely Pepper Gives our lives a special spice And I just want to thank her For being so darn nice! |

Oh, Suthern~ This is a wonderful poem about a really wonderful lady. She gives from her heart and is special to us all. ~Pepper~ gal, I join Suthern in her praise of your wonderful spirit. Thanks, Suthern, for this opportunity to say that Pepper is a special gal. (You're pretty gosh-darned terrific too!) ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

I have only to agree suthern she sure is a special lady The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

Pepper is definitely the salt of the earth. She's the oil in our crankcase. She's the marrow in our bones. She's the filling in our Twinkie. Huh? I'm losing it here!!! hehe. Pepper, you know how I, and the others, feel about ya. Nice tribute, Suthern girl  |

Pepper is as Pepper was And always she will be A friend who throws the lifeline When your stranded out at sea Compassion and a loving heart To all of us she’s shown While hiding and disguising Any sorrow of her own Always there to lend an ear Always there to read Always sending heartfelt cards To those of us in need It’s quite amazing, I would say That anyone could be So pleasant and so fragrant Like a fun- filled potpouri She makes my spirit sour and dance And warms me to the bone While we talk and act like teenagers Talking on the phone With ever card or e-mail sent With every single letter My heart takes pause and whispers Gosh, I’d like to know her better Suthern, you done good on this one! A great tribute to a great person Pepper, you are the anchor of the forum, not seen but always there for everyone, and besides that, you're so cute! Love you both Liz |

Marge: Why thank you, ma'am! *S* Helmut & Denise: She is indeed... thank you! Balladeer: Yup... consider it lost. *G* You went downhill after pepper is salt (and Twinkie filling is yuk! LOL) Pepper: That was my intention... the brightening, not the blushing. (sly grin) Elizabeth: Talk about a lovely tribute! *G* I like yours better! LOL. (Though I'm not quite sure about making your spirit "sour"... *evil grin*) |

I have a few friends as best friends ought to be then one day came a'knocking thru the web this lady came to me. Can anyone imagine just how angels do their work? How they find such lovely folk with their lovely little quirks? For a soul sister I have found and she, a ladder-stepper*** for we have much in common, she and I and her name is "soul-sister Pepper." ***[outside joke] Pepper, this doesn't say it all - you know that - but 'tis a good start! Hurry back! Hugs, Sunshine |

Yes, there ain't too many better, Than that dear hot pepper, She's really spicy we all know, Like a red-hot burning jalapeno! Now eatin' pepper burns my tongue, But I eat them just for fun, The taste is great, they add so much, With red hot pleasure to the touch.
