Dedicated to all my loving friends, have a really Happy Christmas < !signature-->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 Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning [This message has been edited by Marsha (edited 12-15-2000).] |

"For all those times when everything you touch just goes wrong And you want to sing but everyone else has a different song" 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 Mushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

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 "Listening is as important as talking. If you're a good listener, people often compliment you for being a good conversationalist" |

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 Marsha And that poem of yours is wonderful Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |
