Dedicated to all my loving friends, have a really Happy Christmas

For Those Times

I Am Here

For all those times when you think it only happens to you
And those times when you thought that this time it was true
When you think that you're standing by yourself, all alone
For those times when you reach out your hand for the phone
When you feel that life has betrayed you and let you down
And your face has lost its smile and wears a sad little frown
Just turn your head and there right beside you is where I'll be
I'll be standing there, where you knew you'd always find me

For those times when things are much harder than they look
And you've given it a try but you've lost the instruction book
When the world spins too fast or the days seen so very slow
For those times when everyone but you has that happy glow
For all those times when everything you touch just goes wrong
And you want to sing but everyone else has a different song
Look over your shoulder and I'll be there to offer my hand
I'll be there waiting to help you, I'll be your own merry band

For those times when the world seems to turn its back on you
When you want to run but life's thorns won't let you through
For those times when your heart feels battered and so bruised
When you want love but you feel that trust has been abused
For those times when love has gone and tears are ever near
When those simple words I love you are all you pray to hear
Look down at your shadow there is mine leaning close to you
I'll show you the way onward for that is what I'm here to do

Just when I think it couldn't be possible for you to be any sweeter, you go and write something as tender and sweet as this.......You are so wonderful!!!   -SEA

Circe, I thank everyone here at Passions, my family. And if I could I'd hug you all, but I can't do that so I send my love out to you all. I thank the Lord for guiding me here to this haven of love and souls ease. When I was down and just about to be counted out he guided my steps to here. And here I was sheltered and resuscitated, you all helped put the broken pieces of me back together. I was healed by beauty, cleansed in love and found my spirit again. And then like the phoenix I discovered that I was still there. And on wings of fire I arose, and I owe it all to you my forever friends.  
So I owe you, quite literally a debt that can never be repaid.
Thank you love,  
take care

Reading this made me think of my best friend just recently married. I haven't seen her in over a year and had to miss her wedding   A very heartwarming piece, I know she'd love it. You're quite talented Marsha and from your writes you seem to be a very sweet and caring person. I look forward to reading more!

Cassandra, thank you, that is a very nice compliment, but for real talent you need to look elsewhere, it is all around you here. It truly is, as I've said reading these tremendously talented poets who write here is an inspiration in and of itself.
Take care

And that poem of yours is wonderful
