this is for my buddy tricks our friendship has weathered much! ...now, if only we could get back around..the laughter's just not the same via internet and phn.... such dreams were when we were young when laughter erupted into tears and tears melted into laughter such moments were when we were bold when our eyes could tell a story and our secrets were hard to keep such time was when we took pictures our memories still had color and color bled into our lives such pictures were when we had purpose everything was important and we'd give our last dollar to be there... to be there... sitting amongst the nowhere hoping to regain a somewhere-- thinking, if only we could get there... -dgvarner < !signature--> "so lift your heart with mine...the depth to which it grieves is the height to which it can celebrate!" -Lisa Hussey [This message has been edited by dgvarner (edited 11-19-2000).] |

to be there... sitting amongst the nowhere hoping to regain a somewhere-- thinking, if only we could get there... DG* This is excellent!! and the lines above were perfection!! A tale of friendship and the roads that we travel...hand in hand makes the journey so much easier! One question...who's who in the photo? Great writing!! You cannot dance in the sun until you have cried in the rain~ |

What a wonderful tribute to your friendship DG. I'm amazed at the long-lost friends I can now catch up with so easily because of the computer. Friendships that may have withered, yet now flourish instead. Beautiful poem, much enjoyed the thoughts it brought to mind! Best wishes, /Kit |

Like old shoes, friendships grow more and more comfortable with age and we never want to let them go, nor should we. Great tribute to one of life's great joys. jwesley |
