I originally wrote this for Paula, but I now see there are so many of my sisters of the phoenix that need this affirmation of my unending support. My heart goes out to each one of you, and my soul flies to your sides. When The Pain Begins When the pain begins to ache and throb And you want to speak but can only sob When the world that had started to shine Snatches away the dream one more time When the road doesn’t take you home That’s when I’ll give you my heart on loan When the tears are falling never to cease And you want the pressure to just release When all around you looks black and drear I’ll be there to help, to comfort and cheer When you think that you just can’t go on That’s when I’ll give you my hearts song When the clouds above your head turn dark And all around is icy cold and plain stark When your eyes can’t see the beauty within I’ll show you comforts door and help you in When trouble seems to only say your name That’s when I’ll give you my hearts fun game When the sun has vanished and you’re sad And you’d have hope but hopes turned bad When the love you had has hidden her eyes And there’s pain raining down from the skies When you’re tired and your heart feels sore That’s when I’ll give you my soul and more When the touch of the world seems to sting And the silence that surrounds almost rings When you don’t look up at the birds’ flight And somehow you’ve forgotten hopes sight When you feel the weight of sorrow’s touch That’s when I’ll give you my hearts clutch I will listen when you need to talk and cry I’ll stand fast with you and not walk on by I will hear you when you speak or yell out I’ll be there if you want to scream or shout When you need someone to break the wave That’s when I’ll return the peace I’ve saved Marsha < !signature--> Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning [This message has been edited by Marsha (edited 01-15-2001).] |

Richard love, thank you kindly, it's a gift I can give her from here, when she needs it most. In fact looking around the forums today my Angel will be busy giving out loving comfort. Thank you love Take care love Mushy Doreen love, thank you so very muchly love, I have no talent at all. I do have some mentors that beat me to make me work a little harder. (It's really to save themselves from my bad poetry! Not as altruistic as it seems I know ) I do thank you on their behalf, and I can see her now saying see. (Yes love na na na naaaa to you too) Thank you take care Mushy Paula love, I know and I too love you, this is because of who you are love. My sister of choice always. Don't sink down my love, we need you with us. Our wings will support you, and we will protect you from harm. Take care love We are with you. Phoenix sisters will always fly to each others rescue and aid. Mushy (Rear gunner, if anyone gives me any trouble I'll blow them out of the water) xxxx Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |
