You Give A friend you are to me You listen but do not judge Whenever I feel troubled And life becomes too much When I'm happy, my joy you are sharing And you see through my misery You give understanding A puzzle you are to me I give little, you give so much I wonder just where we will go You've no answer, or do you not care? You go with the tide as it flows Our path may be thorny or fair You give comfort So when dark or sad times befall me I will have you by my side In my mind's eye you let nothing annoy I call on your spirit to guide me Out of sight still my pain you alloy See me laughing it's you there inside me You give joy No lover could ever surpass you Bring me ever to heights such as these In a sharing of passion I'm seized To thank you I'm down on my knees You are making me feel alive now As my temp rises forty degrees You give love. So what can I say but "I love you" My heart rests in your very hands You give and you never ask of me Anything that I cannot return You've awakened a spirit within me And fire - by your simple touch I wonder what you see in me. So we'll join in life's exploration Where you and I go hand in hand I'm never subject to consternation We're joined in love in this land Now sing and dance without strife Joined at the hip on this sand We sway to the music of life Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes. ~ Chinese Proverb ~ |

This friend that you talk to is your friend that you walk to in your dreams as it seems would that we all could have friends such as these... well done, Mr. Yeats.... |

What I like so much about your writings is all the feeling that you share. May your dance never end. |

ah Bill...and isn't that what friendship and love is all about? You must give to her a measure of what she gives to you, me thinks. |

Everyone- there's nothing I'd like more than to write individual replies - but with precious little time online - I really need to read and reply to more of YOUR posts - So please let this 'blanket' thanks suffice - so I can appreciate you |

These are wonderful gifts, the very best kind, and certainly a loving heart will reciprocate. I feel the truth in these lines, sir. To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |
