In Your Friendship I Have Grown ~*Marge Tindal*~ I have not walked this way alone You grasped my hand and you held on Held the fragility of my tears Brushed away my sorrow and quelled my fears You took my joy and made it your own Magnified it with friendship sown Within my heart the seed did grow And came to blossom with love's overflow You painted phrases of everseem And told me of your pleasured dreams Shared with me the thoughts of sage Wrote your heart across the page You sang your songs so I could hear Whispered sighs upon my ear You held my heart while it was breaking Touched me with your gentle waking I have not walked this way alone For in your friendship I have grown ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Oh, Marge....this is so very touching, and I love the tribute to friendship. Where would any of us be without friends. I feel fortunate to have met so many wonderful friends, like yourself, right here. Thank you for this poem, my friend. Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

Marge~ Finding this little gem was a joy for me today my friend. It is awesome writing!! I think you have outdone yourself here. Straight from your heart of gold to the page. ![]() Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Marge - When someone asks me why I post here - any reason I give would have to include your name- This is obviously a prime example of the poetry that inspires my feeling |

You have such a beautiful heart Marge and it shows here in greatness. Love Tracie~ Love is the life of the soul... It is the harmony of the universe |
