Once times Ten times Ten I was looking, once ~ to find a place where I could be me, just once Once upon a time, my mother sang to me my father sang to me… once upon a time Once I found a place where I could sing my song once one thousand times I have gifted a note of thought ~ a gift ~ of giving one thousand times I have talked with you walked with you cried with you sighed with you ten thousand times, I either answered or confided ~ ten thousand thanks ~ and in you I have derived a gift of purity once, I heard a voice that said "you can do better" and I listened and a thousand times I have tried to spread good cheer sometimes I succeeded sometimes…I just cried but always I still hear one ~ and to you I gift my smile and still, I heed 'the voice' the voice of male and female and child the voice of spring and summer winter and fall I hear you all… one thousand times I have given love; one thousand times I have walked with you and talked to you ten thousand times seems like one under time of Sun all seem like ONE ~ for you ~ you gave me a chance remote, in circumstance, but said hello…to me… once ~ times ten times ten and now this thanks belongs to me…. to gift to you because I believe in you….. as you have believed in me, Karilea 01.12.01 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ron, Moderators Members for giving me voice for allowing me to be your Sunshine |

So beautifully done! and 10,000?!? *scratches head and wonders if she'll ever reach that!* You should publish a book of your poems then! Look forward to seeing more... if I can find time away from the insane college life! --Artistic-- "Dreams are the touchstones of our characters" -Henry David Thoreau |

Kari love, WAY TO GO GIRL CONGRATULATIONS ON 1000 AND 10000, HOW WONDERFUL FOR US TO SHARE YOU. Dear heart, no flip comments, no french accent, nothing except my true heartfelt love and joy that I have a friend who is the embodiment of the Phoenix. You renew me daily, refreshed by the moments in your beams and warmed by your love. Thank you my Kari, for my joy of life. If the gifts you have given freely were returned on a quid pro quo basis then you would never have a seconds rain in your life. This by the way as outstanding and wonderful as are you, and what a milestone. C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S Take care love Majestic Marsha (Exits stage right, to strains of the Trumpet Voluntary, shaking tail feathers ) Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |
