Old Friends

Where have they gone, our dear old friends
who used to hang around?
Have we somehow hurt their feelings
and other pals they've found?

I slipped into another forum
when this one almost closed.
Words came and went so rapidly
I felt I had imposed.

To the faithful few who've stayed on,
please know how dear you are.
To you who've chosen to wander,
hope you've not gone too far.

We have kept the candle burning,
waiting for your return,
sometimes flickering briefly, but
continuing to burn.

I've thought this the perfect corner
since finding it last year.
Perhaps when summer is over,
old friends will reappear.

Joyce:  Great poem and I hope you are right.
Maybe by the time August is over, all our friends will be back.

Hey Joyce.  Hmmm.  Perhaps I should let my identity out now?  Good as time as any.  
Hi everyone, it's your old friend, JOY 14, or most commonly known as Joy. Do you remember me? I left what seems like ages ago 'cause of a lot of crazy stuff going on -in my life and I'm still quite busy, but I thought I'd get a new name and post and reply every once in a while when I had a chance.  
It's good to see some of the same people I knew still around this place. And to those I'm not familar with...HI!     
-Kristen Joy Jacobus
but you all can call me Kris or Kristen or Joy or Hey You!  if you want.  *g*

/Dear FAithful Friends and returning friend.
I'm glad to hear from all of you.  We must not let this corner die, it is a wonderful, comfortable spot.  Leafserenade.  I am going to try to find some of your former postings under your other posting name.  Joyce

I always try to read the poems in this forum and would hate to see it pass on.

Thank you for reminding all of us...

Hugs, Marti

Good poem, friend.
This is the first I heard this corner was under consideration to close. I sincerely hope not.

This is my favorite forum on this web site!  I feel that Passions is a home that I can always return to no matter how long I'm away!  I've never been to any other forum that is more friendly and respectful of others.  I loved reading your poem, it says it all! Thanks, I've missed being here too.

Dear Friends.  I didn't mean to start any rumors.  I just got anxious because we had slowed down so much.  But we are picking up nicely.  Thanks for coming back.  

  Love, Joyce

Dear Joyce

When I first heard of 'Corner Pub' from Betty Lou, I was a little hesitant about the name.  I will not go into detail, but Betty Lou would understand why.

I'm glad though I 'took a look' and even though I have not posted much poetry I still love to 'pop in' and read everyone elses.

Your poem is very touching!

Welcome leafseranade (Joy 14).

Love Isobel ox
