The Book of My Heart I carry inside, wherever I go, A very special treasure It's worth to me beyond compare, There is no way to measure. This special treasure is a book My very heart the pages Upon which are inscribed the names Of the friendships I have made. The love of friends should always be Held so very dear That is why, through eternity, I will always keep them near. These names written with a flourish of love Are a timeless work of art, For I have each and every one Written in the book of my heart. Terry Woodson ~you reached inside, you touched my heart, and I am all the better for it~ Terry A. Woodson, Jr. |

One of my best friends sent me a list of things that describe a true friend~ One was '...The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've every had...' Your poem was very nice, Terry~ Made me smile~ Marie~ |

TerryW~ The friendship that you bestow comes back to greet you a thousand-fold. You're 'book' would have to be done in Volumes by now ! You're special. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Terry, this is perfect, and your kind heart shines thru in it... very sweet poem of devotion and friendship. take care, jm Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders And it makes me want to touch you there. And the light in your eyes makes me feel Like there's something much better out there Something kind... And I know someday I might be looking around Trying to find some purpose Well purpose it can't be that hard to find As long as I've got the wind... The wind and your love to carry me. vertical horizon |
