Passions From Sudhir taking on all the world's care To Marge's depth of wisdom and grace The visions of Julie Ann lofted in the air And Janet Marie touching what we all face Enola reminding us of the innocense lost Corinne giving us hope for the future LoneWolf's heart from where nothing is tossed And Paula's mending a heart with love's suture TerryW who is not afraid to shed a tear A Romantic Heart who's love leaves us in awe Melissa's softness we hold so dear And LngJhnAg's kaleidoscope from which we saw Butterflies_dont_cry sharing her heart Martie giving us words to help us cope Beth who is off to a wonderous start And Poet de Vine giving us all hope Sunshine who always brings a smile And thanks to Prometheus and his "Poet Tree" Though I have been here only a short while I rejoice in my Passion"s family. Mark Bohannan My thanks to all of you for your inspirations and to all those not mentioned it is not that I don't appreciate your works and words, it is only that I don't have a mile of screen to include you all. I hold everyone here dear and included or not I truely thank you all. [This message has been edited by Mark Bohannan (edited 07-07-2000).] |

I am honored so to be a part of this lovely tribute... this is not the first tribute I've seen done to Passions, for Passions... and a side note to Ron...perhaps some of these tributes [and check the archives] could be included... for what a family it is! Mark, thank you again for putting this here, and for being so kind... Sunny ~~~Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow.

Oh, Mark, I had not noticed this at all... I must be in some haze or something or must be from a different planet... seriously did not see this till I did a search for all your poems on Open #8... Then I read this and see the first word you have is mine... Oh! I feel ashamed now for my negligence.... really, please accept my apologies... ... And what a well written poem this is ,not just because my name is on the list,  but because you have captured the essence of the people, the passionate, kind people here with big hearts and lovely attitude to life... truly a rich heritage we have here and you are another of the jewels in this crown....Thanks for everything... Many regards, sudhir. |

Sudhir-no need for the apology. I do not feel neglected by you nor anyone else here at Passions and I only wanted to try and verse how much I rejoice in all the wisdom of life and the caring hearts here. It is a blessing to be among such gentle souls when all day I see so many that care for not other than themselves. Thank you once again for you and your vision. Serenity-I do the best I can and am trying real hard to become better by reading and learning from all of you. Thanks for the kind replies you always have. |
