the trust i once had has been broken this tired heart wants to feel no more the wings of this butterfly are tattered to the sky i no longer want to soar the chains that use to control me i feel them again in the shadows of the night the strength i once had to carry on now leaves me empty...with nothing left to fight then as if by a miracle you came into my life that day helping me how to learn to live and love again you're like a treasure map to show me the way i thought i'd experienced my fair share of life in the short twenty-three years i've been here seen many wonderful and painful things cried my share of tears then you came along like an angel right out of the sky with a few words from you i now smile as you silently dry my eye though time and distance may seperate us this special friendship is true as can be and though we may have never seen each other face to face still i reveal to you the true me all my cards lay on the table as i hand my heart and soul to you something tells me deep inside that you feel the same way too this friendship may be just that a friendship of the heart and soul love may never grow still--nonetheless i thank you dear sweet friend for making me once again whole Amy M Kennedy "A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart & can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words." |

It is so nice that when we are down someone can come along and give us hope. Sometimes someone just being a good friend is all we need. |

Beautiful, Amy. This is such a reflection of how God puts people in our lives exactly when we need them. And though we may not always understand the how's and why's, it's simpily there. A beautiful write. I am so happy for you!  To hold tomorrow we must first be willing to let go of yesterday. |

Amy, you have out done yourself here. Your words have touched my heart. You don't have to know someone face to face to be loved or to love (just a thought). Thank you. Hugs! Tammy [This message has been edited by JCGF (edited 03-08-2001).] |

Hi! I loved your piece, and I am sure it is one many can identify with, as love is quite often the most intangible thing there is, and one of the people that posted was quite right...just when you need love most, it shows up in one form or another, whether it is an animal, person, plant, whatever...but it shows up! I am so glad yours did, nice piece. |

When you think the broken pieces of your soul can never be made whole, someone comes along with a case of super glue and infinite patience. Whether they are near or far, they are treasured. *S* This is beautiful! [This message has been edited by suthern (edited 03-08-2001).] |

Amy: Like all the others said this is a sweet and caring poem to a good friend. As the saying goes distance makes the heart grow fonder so even though you do live far apart you still can feel as close. I'm glad that you've found someone to make you "fly" again since for a while there you were like a bird with a broken wing unable to fly yet wishing with all your might that soon you'd be close to those blue skies again. It may be hard but I don't think you should let something so true and good go. ~Lisa~ ~in order to gain, you have to lose~ |
