To Dawn, My Best Friend.... Your friendship means the world to me So important I hope you see Without you there to lean on All my hopes would be gone I know that you are always there With compassion beyond compare Willing to listen to my fears Offering comfort for my tears With your written or spoken sentiment Encouragement and support is sent Straight to my heart it goes Helping me see the highs, not just the lows A kind word or understanding look Is all it really took For me to know that you cared More than most others dared Now there is a bond between us A special rare kind of trust Friends for life through good and bad When we are happy or are sad Me for you and you for me That is how it will always be Our paths have crossed for a reason Together they'll stay through all seasons Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W. Smith |

Tracie, Thank you!! Yes, we are very fortunate to have such a unique bond. She about cried when I gave this to her, but it is how I feel. She read it and said I feel the same. Can't ask for more than that!!  LW Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W. Smith |

"Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends." "Fate exists but it can only take you so far, Because once you're there It's up to you to make it happen." |

LW, a true friendship is the greatest gift I ever got. It is a wonderous thing. loved your poem, wonderful written and made me remember some dear, close friends. ------------------------ "I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else"-Richey Edwards "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "Libraries gave us power Then work came and made us free What price now for a shallow piece of dignity" Nicky Wire, A design for Life. manic street preachers "Outside open mouthed crowds Pass each other as if they're drugged Down pale corridors of routine Where life falls unatoned " "To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." E.E Cummings. |
