Friendship Growing ~*Marge Tindal*~ In the friendship garden I found you Struggling in a little spot I dug you up and took you home And placed you in a pot Now each day I sing you melodies Each day you seem to grow How was it that you came to be The nicest friend I know ? I think I know the answer I believe you know it too We give strength with just our caring What you give comes back to you I showered you with welcomed hugs And gave your face a smile You began to blossom making it all worthwhile We all must feed the friendship Or it withers on the vine I gave you the will to flourish You gave me a friendship divine Friendship grows the flowers We add to our bouquet Thank you for the perfect rose You gave to me this day Now you must return the favor To the friendship garden go There's another friendship waiting there Can you make it grow ? *For a friend who presents me with a fresh bouquet of her friendship each day Lil' Lizzie ... you're special to this garden. ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

~Marge,...you're awesome!!!  This is such a wonderful poem,...the kind that can get sent around to make everyone realize how nice it can be to be a friend to someone and get a thousand times the flowers back in return. You are like I said before,..a beautiful heart.  |

Marge....wonderful poem, wonderful to have such a friendship. God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown |

Lizzie, my, how she inspires She glows with grace and lights your fires She lives and loves with open mind The sweetest girl you'll ever find She likes the peace of nature's scene Impala herds that graze serene Then turns around and fiercely competes In relays of great swimming fetes Then turns around and writes a phrase So wonderful, the words amaze Then turns around and sends a note Of comfort from a heart remote Then mounts her mare and rides away To seek the peace of a glorious day Her spirit seems to never tire My, how Lizzie does inspire Love ya, Lizzie Love ya, Marge Beautiful poem and tribute Liz |

Corinne~ Thanks, gal friend ! LoneWolf~ She sure brings fresh sunshine rays into my life ... and inspiration to be all she believes me to be. My 'Other' Lizzie~ What a lovely, lovely poem for our gal. She has gone to bed for the night but on morning's waking .. will read every bit of this and enjoy your poem immensely. Like I told you today when we talked ... some people go their whole lives and don't even get ONE Lizzie ... and here I am blessed with TWO of you. You both curled up in my heart to stay. Thank you sooooo much for the call ... God, it was good to hear your sweet voice. Breathe deeply my friend ... for your spirit flows my way and I capture you in my thoughts. *winking at you* Lizzie, my friend.Great BIG HUGS for that handsome Tony ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Dear Marge, This was wonderful writing. I could scarcely consider anything which could compare! As beautiful as each individual flower may be, we all have our common devotions. Thank you for sharing such words with us all, and especially me  I really enjoyed it.^_^ Amanda Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate, Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date. Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed; And every fair from fair sometimes declines, By chance or nature's changing course, untrimmed. But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st; Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st. So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. William Shakespeare |

And to think, without Ron, and Passions, you two lost souls would still be out there, looking for each other... and Elizabeth, you added some wonderful thoughts as well... Lizzie, you have a wonderful friend/Mentor in Marge...keep her safe... |
