.gif) Nation of Red Born into this world close to the land Raised with the conviction from your birth Knowing that the spirits are close at hand From your ancestors, elements, and earth Your strength comes from your belief In the power to draw from life All the elements for pain as from relief All the powers to aid in your strife Nature's powers are yours to restrain Use her powers with care and respect You praise and offer honor to all you gain While the rest of the world can only reflect You have taught well all those who care You have suffered much to those of greed The pain beginning when you came to share At the hands of those jealous of your breed You are the pure and the strong You are the living among the dead You are the right and the wrong You my friend are the nation of red Mark Bohannan repost from open 8 to celebrate Marge's (White Feathers) 10,000th post and to celebrate our friendship. |

Mark - a wonderful tribute to a fine, fine lady. As for her 10,000th post! Wow! I didn't know Marge was THAT old. Egads, I'm just a slacker in here! |

Nature's powers are yours to restrain Use her powers with care and respect You praise and offer honor to all you gain While the rest of the world can only reflect You have taught well all those who care You have suffered much to those of greed The pain beginning when you came to share At the hands of those jealous of your breed You are the pure and the strong You are the living among the dead You are the right and the wrong You my friend are the nation of red ================== you already know this is one of my favs of your...and you know why Congrats to Margie-gator... she is a poetic fixture here in our hearts |

Holly my sweet....my heart's beauty is ALL because of you and the special friends we share in this life and this family of Passions. Thank you my angel and isn't Marge just so cute that you could just squeeze her to death?(gently of course) Marge-My friend..my inspiration, my tutor in life and poetry, you shine so well and keep being you and you not only will have my love and friendship forever but "WE" will definitely get you to 20,000 real soon. BECAUSE I KNOW you care...a little something extra for you (and me of course) /pip/Forum33/HTML/002887.html |
