This is a thank you to you all of my family here at Passions. The Journey I've been on an special, magical journey And never even left this my comfy seat I've danced on a carpet of shining stars I've wandered amazed seeking lovers heat I've flown with hearts that soared on high Watched entranced as two souls finally meet * * * I've been to a land full of awesome wonder Witnessed hearts and souls writhe in pain I've watched as they sicken, fail and falter Before cheering as they rise up once again I've rejoiced in others silver glowing dreams And I've seen loves hope fall like gentle rain * * * I've had days when I just can't help smiling And tears, well yes I've certainly shed a few I've battled with some fearsome personal devils Delighted when I see you come triumphant through I've witnessed lovers hope, their precious dreams And these priceless treasures I've shared from you * * * I've marched beside you, each and every one My banner waving, friendship and my spirit free We've tramped across those hills of souls in pain Set our sail over this turbulent and yes angry sea This journey isn't at an end, no,not even close I just wanted to say thank you one and all from me Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

You have penned what so many of us feel and you have done it superbly. I myself owe you a million thanks for sharing my works with the MBOOPAS and for you allowing me to see their responses as well and also for your many wonderful heartfelt replies that mean the world to me. Thank you my friend a million times over and you are right when you say it isn't even close to the end. Does family ever end anyway? I think not. Take a bow now!!!  |

This is beautiful, and for myself, it's an honor for others to read my words and for me to be allowed an entrance into a part of their hearts and lives. Thank you for posting this. "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey."" Laurie Lee Kathleen |

Before I begin this list of thanks, I want you all to know, that I posted this, because every single one of the poets here, have given me a gift that is so precious and real. I'm sitting typing this, although I should be working, with tears of love streaming down my face. You all are far too kind to me, I know I don't deserve such priceless gems as you all daily spill out before my eyes. I know that I am priviledged and enriched beyond measure, just by being amongst such wonderful friends. Amy, Oh love! I thank you, I thank you truly I do. I thank you for your pure heart, I thank you for your honesty, I thank you for being so willing to share your gift with all. Mark, my very dear friend, my thanks to you if I was to enumerate them would go on and on for days. Simply allow me to say this, I thank you for being such a shining star. The MBOOPAS, who one and all are so thankful to you for your work. It makes our days brighter, it lifts our spirits, and it gives us something to enjoy, something that in the hospital is definitely needed. As for myself, well I'm glad that the great journey with my family will I hope never end. Thank you my friend for being you. Charisma, you are far too kind to me. I thank you for your strength of spirit which shines. I thank you for being a light. Kethry, I thank you for just being you, a superb poet with a beautiful gift. These replies are getting shorter, because I can't see to type at all. Now when are they going to bring in predictive typing for puter use? Kari, Oh my love, how kind, so very very sweet you are. You know how I feel about your work, but in case anyone doesn't know. I think Kari has an amazing gift, it's golden truth. And take care love, look after your soul. Kit, dear Kit, thank you you have a heart of purest gold, and love just pours from you. Kathleen, I thank you, for your smiles which come through the screen, and I thank you.  I'm now going to blub, all over the fax machine, where hopefully any passers by will think it's coming from the Maternity ward. Thank you one and all Marsha < !signature--> Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning [This message has been edited by Marsha (edited 10-29-2000).] |

Marsha~ What an easy loving heart you possess. No wonder we all love having you here. You're a poet of HEART ... and that's the most important ingredient to combine with talent. Thank you for sharing both with us. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Nan, I truly thank you, Passions is such a special place, souls come here to heal and stay to spread love. Take care Krissy thank you, it truly is a very special world here. Hope is shared, love and peace shelter all those who seek it! But above all else it's the support that we all get from each other. We all travel our own roads, but if anyone falls by the wayside at Passions, there is always someone who will offer a helping hand. That is what is so wonderful, so very enriching, about the poets here. Take care Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |
