If you have touched but one life took away pain, sorrow, strife infused love, hope and light made all grave become all right If you have given but one song of cheer and winsome melody I would hear then all your songs as I hear you sing to not only me If you have given but one hope and given of your words to cope and lifted up one with your song and touched a life this day long then may your blessings be complete and may you live long in your poetry 22 August 2000 ©Karilea Rilling Jungel |

Sunshine this is a lovely piece and a beautiful dedication to those at Passion's Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

This is very "touching," indeed. And isn't that the greatest thing one can hope for in their lifetime -- to be able to make even one other person's life just a little better by their having existed? Tis my philsophy, and soemthing I strive for daily. I loved this piece, Sunshine. Thank you so much for posting it. |

If we only touch one heart, we have accomplished so much. You continue to touch mine daily. Through poetry, we can express so many things that are hard to say aloud. It keeps me going. Beautifully written as always. |

Thank you for this, Sunshine.It touches on a subject about what is good poetry. And I have always said, if what you wrote touches someone, it is good.And there's a lot of good poetry on Passions. This is so beautifully written. I hope the teen poets read this as well, for so much of their poetry has touched and inspired me Well done Liz |

May I add to your poem, lil Sunshine??? *as if I will take NO for an answer - heh heh* And if you just one single time, Make Long John think he doesn't rhyme, And make him sniffle, and maybe cry, You're gonna get it, bye and bye! Your poem is very sweet and encouraging, Karilea - smooch |

skull and crossbones and pirate's swagger cut to the core of things swift O his dagger but if you catch old LongJohn's eye... yes he'll get to you, bye and bye... whether or not he rhymes... he's so old...just give him time! |
