Marge - I didn't know who the creator of this was, but I do now. This is a really nice tribute to him. I guess I should be thanking him as well. Dave |

Walking through the Winter Wonderland Christmas time has come once more Father Frost and Saint Nicolas knocking on your door A crisp shiver lies within the air tonight The lights throughout the city shine so bright Silent lies the city; no soul will cross my way A star shines into my eyes with colors oh so gay Fallen have now all the leaf As I walk through the night on Christmas Eve' A Christmas carol comes to mind And I start singing to unwind The sound echo’s through the empty alley As I’m walking along through Christmas valley The windows filled with light and glitter A chilling wind that makes me shiver I think of you to keep me warm I wish we could walk along together arm by arm I put my hand back into the sleeve As I walk through the night on Christmas Eve' My thoughts carry a wish especially for you my friend May harm and sorrow be prevent May all your days are filled with happiness and laughter From this day forward and there ever after May all the best will come to you May all your dreams will come true I wish this for you with all my heart May an Angel stand for you on guard I come to the river around the bend As I finish my walk through this Winter Wonderland Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year And all the best to you Ron and the ones you Love My thoughts will be with you The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

Merry Christmas Ron! I will never forget the kindness and compassion you showed me when we first met. You turned a difficult situation into a warm welcome for me here in Passions, and words can not describe my gratitude. And Marge...well, you are a wonderful, talented and giving person and I am so glad we met....Merry Christmas dear lady! |

The invisible man behind the blue The poet of passion, is looking at you From behind secret curtains, in wizardly ways He opened a window to lighten my days Once confined to a chair, now I soar into space Once in silence I dwelt, now the wind can't erase What's been sketched on a silvery tablet of light That is there in the morning and glows in the night The wizard looks out, but he doesn't look in To see how my spirit is stirred from within To look at the magical power of dreams To read those small words that have built self esteem He never will know of the food I partake Of the wine that enhances the rhymes that I make For I sit at a table abundant with friends And nourish my soul through the ink of a pen How grateful I am for the poet of blue The invisible wizard, who makes it come true Best regards, Ron 'Liz |

Marge... this was wonderful of you to write and post this for Ron... thank you!!!! Ron..... you are Passions beautifully woven with verse, the first thoughts of poets blending, sending hearts to share, wisdom to feel, souls once cold now warm, the forming of a miracle born, blind before and now a site to see and you, my friend are truly the beginning of the all of us winning back a voice, souls spinning making music, offing the noise of nothing, the more than something of it the everything and all coming out because of the call of blues paged out in sync for all you do! two thousand and two just a blink of an eye past an eternity of work your blood of toil wringing in the wings and with the word and oh how spoiled we are with the blessings of finally being heard!!!!! -------------- THANK YOU, Ron!!!!!!!!!!!!! for 2 and a half years full of wonder, exploration, growth and beauty!!!! i love you  |

I don't think I have ever been with so many friends who have actually never met. That is probably the biggest asset we have. Our Imagination runs wild. Merry Christmas to you Ron, and thank you for keeping us apart, yet together. And Thank you Marge for reminding us of who made this all possible. The Poetic Plumber - Roger |

I am late but no less appreciative of this wonderful haven. Passions has become a place of sanctuary to me and my words. I can't ever thank you enough Ron. Especially for allowing me a place to meet such wonderful poets as Marge is and so many others too numerous to count now. It is special indeed. Merry Christmas to you both and to all. Peace and Love, Regina |
